While I am having a wonderful festive time in San Francisco right now I really would love to be on the Sydney foreshore for the New Year’s Eve celebration tonight.

LIVE coverage and all the photos will be found here

What I’m missing promises to be a truly amazing event as Telstra in partnership with Imagination the Sydney NYE event producer and the City of Sydney activates the official 2012 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations by lighting up the Sydney harbour like never before.

Telstra has created the official smartphone app that features how you can take part in an interactive light show as well as send messages to the Harbour Bridge throughout the night.

Cool!

It’s certainly not too late to join in the event so watch the below video links this will lead you to download either the iPhone or Android versions.

During the nights celebrations, the app drives four amazing Telstra Colour Moments in the lead-up to midnight. To join in the fun simply tap on the ‘Colour Moments’ tab on the official app. At 10:15PM, 11:00PM, 11:30PM and 11:45PM, your smartphone will automatically sync with a colourful light and fireworks show around the harbour.

Once last thing if you are on the Sydney foreshore for New Year’s Eve make sure you hold your phone above your head to help transform the Sydney foreshore into a dazzling sea of colour. Check out what’s planned tonight with this video from Australia’s Queen of Pop, Kylie Minogue, the Creative Ambassador for 2012 Sydney New Year’s Eve.

Happy New Year Sydney!
