Locals and visitors marked their New Year celebrations with lavish dinners, private parties and music events across the shire and the Noosa River provided the backdrop for many New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Among the celebrations were those at Noosa Harbour Wine Bar where The Sandflys played to a packed crowd of people dancing and enjoying the music before watching a spectacular display of fireworks.

And further up the river on Gympie Terrace people gathered for a free family fireworks display presented by Noosa Boathouse and The Islander Noosa Resort.
