Yeah mate,
but just the usual first 80m inc. the first platform. Apparently it will be open out to the Observatory as of Feb 5.
Might wait till all the rubberneckers have their fill on the weekend before i head out for a fish.

I resent that remark....
OH hang no I don't... I resemble it
But hopefully will be watching it all from the boat and not the jetty itself.

Not open till Sunday??
Got told it will not be open to the public until after the swim?
Apparently they are setting up the fireworks on it on Saturday and will not let anyone on until it's all over..... So will be on there Monday chasing some ink as well.

60 tonnes of fireworks should make a great bonfire, bring some marsmellows
Kate Cerbrano will be singing also so she will be worth checking out as well and she is singing a few classics such as "Ring of fire by Jonny cash" "" light my fire" by the Doors" We didn't start the fire" from Billy joel and a finale of "Burning up" from Madonna
