A lone desert tree stands surrounded by a flat, dry expanse of dusty soil and blood red rocks, an environment that is at once barren and isolated, yet home to an amazing number of feisty plants and animals. This is the Outback of Australia, rough around the edges, wild and scorching. Its very idea challenges all who set foot Down Under to explore it, breathe it, get under its skin.
At the end of each and every year, a party of global proportions breaks out. Like clockwork, this grand gala occurs every 31st night of December, spreading from timezone to timezone until the whole world is lit up with fireworks and bright smiles. Sure, on an astronomical scale, it's just one more turn around that big old Sun but on a human scale, it is the beginning of a new year.
