AS the rest of Australia rolled out its New Year’s Eve celebrations, thousands were evacuated from a beach on the NSW Central Coast after a fireworks barge caught on fire during NYE celebrations.
The barge caught fire during the 9pm fireworks at Terrigal.
Two pyrotechnicians were forced to jump off a fireworks barge on the NSW Central Coast and suffered minor injuries after a NYE display went horribly wrong.
Crowds were evacuated from the Terrigal beach after the barge caught fire just minutes into the New Year’s Eve fireworks show shortly after 9pm. NSW Fire and Rescue said the two technicians were helped by onlookers before being treated by paramedics.

An excellent reason to fire them off of a barge.
I had a livestream of the ABC channel and its Countdown show for 4 hours last night from Sydney on Youtube, had it on my 65” tv with the soundsurround.
Love how much the Aussies favor classic rock against the lip synch crapola you see in America.
Now two years ago i was in Adelaide and enjoyed the local fireworks there, was in Sydney the week before but couldn’t get any lodging on the 31st.
So anyway the Sydney show was spectacular! And so far you just won’t see it on FOX, too busy hsrping on snipers at Times Square i guess.
I watched it too. Jimmy Barnes can still belt it out. But too many fat dyke women singers for my tastes.
BTW we are planning to be in Sydney for next New Years Eve.
So true....
A lot of it was due to them passing a same sex marriage law.
A small and hollow victory more than likely only seen in the big smoke towns, Sydney and Melbourne.
Good luck on next years trip! Don’t forget to keep an eye on the exchange rates, i lucked out and got my aussie cash ahead of time through my local bank before i flew out.
Beware customs is very strict!

The sky was filled with flaming faggots. No, I mean burning pieces of wood from the barge.
