I'm spending this NYE in Brisbane
and I was wondering if any locals can recommend a good vantage point for fireworks that is not completely packed, like southbank.
BTW, Happy New Year Everyone

tsanglabs.... you can't go past kangaroo point for the best view... you'll need to get there a little earlyish to get a spot....
happy new year to you also.

Not sure if they still do it, later on in the night they may close the exits to the riverside expressway and allow people to have a riverside view of the fireworks with Southbank as a backdrop.
Although I think the best view is from a boat in the river! Just make sure you keep a hand on the camera at all times
Enjoy!

Just saw your post and really...the best point would be from Z Block QUT at Gardens Point which is directly opposite Southbank. Trouble is getting in there as security will probably have it shut tight. But...you should be able to get onto the campus and up on to one of the overhead walkways outside the pool which should give a vantage point for the fireworks. See if you can do a recce prior to the night and good luck.

Cool shots,
isn't it interesting how photos of the same subject matter differ ?
Cheers

I think they turned out quite well! Hopefully it wasn't too crowded for you!

Actually I had a bit of trouble holding my tripod steady, with all the small children trying to push through. But I think it would have been the same everywhere that was any good, at least it was not as crowded as southbank.
I was at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs lookout by the way.
