Today was New Year Eve! We decided to visit Sunshine Coast again. First destination of the day was the Sunshine Castle situated at Bli Bli, about 10 minutes drive from Maroochydore.
Ettamogah Pub, spotted it on our way to Maroochydore

Help!!! The Girl is attacked by a Dinosaur
Dolls Showroom.. Seems a little spooky for me

After that, we moved on to the Ginger Factory at Yandina, another 10 minutes drive from Bli Bli. It was a fun experience as we took the opportunity to witness the production of ginger, and the ginger plantation. We bought the ticket for ginger product tasting and guide tour. Before we left, we purchased a few ginger products such as Gingerbread Man, Ginger Sauce & Ginger Mayonnaise.

At night, it was the highlight of the day - Countdown for New Year at Southbank! We took the public bus there to avoid the hassle for looking for parking place. It was very crowded, but well-organised as we were all being scanned for alcoholic drinks before entering into the Southbank Region for the countdown activities. No alcoholic drinks = No Fighting!
We reached there about 10.30pm, rather early in order to choose a nice spot. Tonight, it was very windy along the river. I find it rather romantic actually :)

Supper at 2am... Or I'd rather called it a Breakfast
