00:18As the final preparations are made for Queensland's largest New Year's Eve celebration.
00:25Organisers have spent months planning.
00:28There's over five tonne of fireworks and equipment in the city of Brisbane displays alone.

00:435.30, you must have been one of the first people here.
00:45Yeah, I wasn't the only one though, but yeah, I was one of the first.
