New Year's Eve All Over Australia

What could be better than celebrating New Year's Eve down under? Well... not much. Taking your New Year's Eve party to Australia can be quite a memorable experience. For the best places to be and be seen in 2009 here is your guide to the six most sought after locations in all of Australia.

New Year's Eve - Rockhampton Festival

This isn't a one-day event; this party goes on for four straight days! Beginning on the morning of the 29th and carrying on all the way through recovery New Year's day. This is the place to be for a real New Year's Eve bash. Start out with a island cruise, pepper in some picnicking, a black tie ball and after party and you've got a recipe for one heck of a party.

This doesn't come cheap though, to participate in all of the festivities you are looking at over $300 per person. For more information check out the website at www.BallsintheBush.org.
