After returning from Tasmania, we quickly unpacked, cleaned and prepared to host the McKinley brothers as they completed their Australia tour in Melbourne. One of their first activities in Melbourne was to help us ring in the New Year. We kicked off festivities at an afternoon barbie at Jeremy's followed by a gala event at the Riverland Bar on the banks of the Yarra.
As the photos evidence, the night was quite enjoyable but did get a bit messy toward the wee hours of the morning. The fireworks were awesome, particularly since they were being launched from a barge on the river about 75 metres from our location. Our party become scattered as we attempted to make our way home, with some opting to walk (and getting lost) while I tried to herd a couple onto the late-night drunk bus through the somewhat chaotic streets of downtown Melbourne.
New Year's Day was spent licking wounds (at least for those capable of movement).
