Another great day in town : after lunch, we went to the Art Gallery of NSW
for a combination of some old masters, some interesting Australian art and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art
and a few too many of these modern stuff...
Then to the Opera House and SHB for a sun-downer,
where a liner was obligingly ready to leave and gave us a masterclass in reversing out, turning on a sixpence and heading onwards...
though in truth we could have done without the (very very loud) drums and clashing cymbals percussion... Just as well no one appeared to be there on a quiet romantic first date.
The noise is apparently supposed to drive away last year's bad spirits to allow the new year to afresh - it certainly drove us away but that was timely because the fireworks started right on cue, just as the SOH was turning a pinkish hue
and closer to lucky red by the time we called it a night.
