Sophia Zorbas, of Magill, said she was looking forward to bringing in the new year with her family, including daughters Georgianna, 5, and Katerina, 9, at the beach.
“We come to the beach every year for New Years, we’re Greek so we usually go to Elatte on Jetty Road,” Ms Zorbas said.
“My family will be visiting from Melbourne, so we’ll make a day and night of it and end up at The Stanford.
“We’ll spend the night there and watch the fireworks from the hotel.
“We booked the room around September, I think.
“Then on New Year’s Day we’ll go to my aunty's house and celebrate together.”
