Well the lightening started around 9pm tonight while we were sitting at the Hobart Waterfront enjoying the Taste Festival new Years Eve Party.
However once we got home I was finally able to catch some of the action with my camera! here is the result!
Lightening Strikes which started Bush fires in and around our area!
There are also some great images of the Lightening over Hobart on new Years eve here:
Tonight we had a Full Moon which was pretty spectacular. I tried to capture it in all its glory as it lite up the sky as we moved from 2009 into 2010.

Our lead up to 2010 has been a night out at the Hobart Taste Festival New Years Eve Party, where we watched the family fireworks. It has been a night full of intense heat which only minutes after the family fireworks finished(at 9.30ish pm) was followed by flash torrential rain! That lasted only 5-10 minutes!
We were drenched to the bone! But a lot of fun was had!
Here are some photos of the Fireworks we seen- Enjoy!
Here is also a short Video of a few minutes of the fireworks. They went for around 15 minutes and where very captivating!
