Guess what happened on New Year's Eve! Easy wasn't it. Yes, we went to see a firework display in a little resort near Broulee called Tomakin which has a population of about 1000 people. Of course that number shoots up in mid-summer as tourists arrive, but the whole place has a small village air to it. It appears that the display was hosted, if not entirely paid for, bu the local Sports and Social Club. Mt expectations were not that great given Tomakin's size - maybe just a few bangs with pretty colours.
We witnessed the event from the nearby park adjacent to the Tomaga River, maybe a km from where it enters the Pacific Ocean. It was a lovely calm and cool evening and our clutch of kids - James, Henry, Max, Ella and Flynn had a lovely time exploring the site, playing among themselves, and watching the dimming light as the sun went down. Here, for example, is Flynn regaled in a multi-coloured wand.
And here's Emily supervising some of the expectant members of our party. And then with bang the display got underway.
What shook us was how brilliant the display was in terms of length, colour, originality of effects, size, and so on. I've seen many displays in my time, but this one stood proud against the rest
on all those dimensions. So small communities can challenge major cities in the fireworks stakes.
So I recommend that you head for Tomakin next year for New Year celebrations!
