The 31st of December is celebrated differently all around the world. New York have the ball drop, Denmark smash plates, and France eat pancakes. So what makes Australia different than their northern hemisphere friends?

1. Crazy Climate - Where Else does NYE Combine With Summer?

Now you are probably used to being rugged up indoors for New Years, but Down Under it is often quite warm. Don’t be surprised if you ditch your perfectly planned dress for a cheeky midnight skinny dip.

2. Outdoor Adventures - Why Not Try A Different Way To Celebrate?

Because it is often so warm, many Australians opt for an outdoor celebration. Whether that means, a rooftop Party in Sydney, or cruising the Great Barrier Reef, rest assured outside is the place to be. The Magnetic Island NYE package is a perfect way to get out and about this New Years.  

3. Fantastic Fireworks - Make A Boomerang Everyone Will Be Jealous Of!

As Australia is one of the first countries to see in the New Year, be prepared to make all your friends and families jealous with your Instagram posts! Space Ibiza are hosting a party that will showcase Sydney’s famous fireworks.

4.  Funky Festivals - Just Like Coachella,  But Combined With A Midnight Countdown

Not only does Australia love fireworks on New Years,  but they also love a music festival. Australians love to party it up with music, and camp under the stars, so why not celebrate the New Year in a new way. Falls Festival and Lost Paradise are selling out fast.

5. Twice as Nice - Why Settle For Just One Celebration?

Australians actually celebrate NYE several times due to the time differences. Celebrate the New Year twice by staying in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads, right on the New South Wales/Queensland Border.

 These are just five of the reasons Australia has the best NYE. Don’t miss out of the opportunities to party with the Aussies, but make sure to bring your camera and Photo ID.
