Plenty of Canberrans are expected to line the lake tonight to celebrate the end of 2024 with a bang. And this year we'll actually welcome the new year at the same time. As Lucy Arundell reports, the ACT government decided not to host midnight fireworks in 2023 believing the event wasn't popular enough.
When Ben Johnston and Nick Diver took over the Old Canberra Inn 10 years ago they were faced with one large problem: its bikie reputation. As Amy Martin explains, it was a rowdy New Year's Eve wedding a decade ago that started the cultural shift towards a more family-friendly reputation.
And if you're still enjoying a well-earned rest on the beach it might be time to delve into the delicacies. Love them or hate them, we've tasted for you the best oysters on the South Coast.
There's a slight chance we'll see out 2024 with a shower or storm in the afternoon. Otherwise, we're in for a partly cloudy day and an expected top of 29 degrees. Have a safe and happy new year.
