After Christmas many people start preparing for New Year s Eve. Australians are known for their parties and here is when they prove it. Teenagers spent New Year s either with friends or family. Normally parties begin from sunset to anytime before midnight. Often parties are centred around the waterways as at midnight Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay and the Bridge will have huge firework displays.
Parties never finish until early the next morning or afternoon.
The rest of January is often spent with friends just having fun. We often go to the beach, hang around someone s pool or to the movies and shopping. Some families go up the coast for a holiday. The main thing is that when Feburary comes no one wants to go back to school.
