GALLERY: Mudgee welcomes 2015

Locals and visitors alike in awe of the New Year’s Eve fireworks that exploded in the sky above Mudgee on Wednesday night. The bright colours that ushered in the New Year were part of Parkland Resort’s annual New Year’s Eve celebrations and around 1500 people graced the Parklands grounds with picnic baskets and blankets. As well as the fireworks at 9pm, there were a number of activities to keep the children entertained until night fell, and adults were invited to have lunch in the restaurant or live like a VIP on the deck with prime, firework viewing seats. Parklands Resort manager Chantelle Prior said the fireworks would not be possible without the help of the local community and the many local businesses who sponsor the event each year.
