Sydney NYE fireworks Dec 31 2011 PLUS obnoxious partygoer commentary/abuse

Context summed up in my FB status: "My somewhat amusing NYE experience -- since the waterfront was closed off, had an inspired idea to take the rellies to North Sydney instead to watch the fireworks. Great view and shot great video of it all, but had to endure (ie ignore) some semi drunk people yelling at me to get off the bridge railing at the same time. Apparently having some wanky house party in some wanky mansion is meant to guarantee you the best spot on the overbridge when you come up at 5 minutes to 12. I'm now the blue hoodie who ruined New Year's for some stuck up North Sydneyites. Couldn't give a flying fig :) !"

This was from the North Sydney Ridge Street overbridge. Quite a good view of the Bridge but also harbour as well.

Clearly not as good as other footage you'll find on Youtube but its funny enough listening to the commentary/abuse provided by the semi drunk partygoers who came up onto the bridge.
Highlights include at 1:40, 2::00, 3:00, 7:15, I sigh at 8:00, 10:00, and 11:00
I think if I had come up at 5 to 12 and took over their place their criticism would be founded -- but me and many others came on an hour beforehand (having tried the closed waterfront) and it was them who came up at 5 to 12.
Ah well -- its kinda funny!
