Having survived the Christmas festivities, the next thing to look forward to is New Years eve and how to spend it.
Our plan is a simple one. In the afternoon Lyn and I, together with with friends Robyn and John, will be training it to Flinders St Station, 
from where we plan on heading to Docklands for a look around, then on to Waterfront City/New Quay and maybe a ride on the Southern Star Observation Wheel, 
which rises 38 storeys from the ground.
The $40 million Southern Star Observation Wheel based on the hugely successful London Eye, is a giant ferris wheel, the second of its kind and 3rd highest in the world. It is 100 metres in diameter, featuring 21 airconditioned and enclosed glass cabins that showcase views stretching as far as Geelong. Whilst the cabins are similar in design to the London Eye, the Southern Star Observation Wheel features a unique state-of-the-art star-like structure whereas the wheel of the London Eye is similar to a bicycle wheel with spokes.
Having done that we will probably play the tourist and catch the,
City Circle Tram, followed by a coffee in one of Melbourne's trendy laneway cafes, take in a late afternoon movie and wend our way to the Golden Orchid in Chinatown, our favourite Chinese Restaurant which makes the absolute best satay's that one could ever want.

After that we will walk to Flinders St Station/Federation Square, 
which will host a carnival, including swing and jazz ensembles and circus performers, until it is time for the 9.15pm family fireworks display. We will then catch the train home and hit the sack before midnight after what will have been a full day, in readiness for what
brings with it.
We hope that will be good health and happiness, which is exactly what we wish for you and yours in 2009.
