It can’t almost be New Years Eve, can it? I’m sure we were all welcoming 2018 just one or two months ago- not
11 months ago!
Every year I say to myself ‘I will be more organised for the next New Year’s Eve. I’ll plan it six months in advance’. Well, that resolution didn’t come to fruition. So now, here I am, just a few short weeks away from another stressful week researching, planning, and trying to organise something special to do with my family.
While I find a list of family New Years Eve events to attend in Adelaide for myself, I may as well share them with the mums of Adelaide - after all, we really need to stick together, and support each other during this silly season.

Semaphore Summer Carnival.
While the carnival begins on Saturday 15th December 2018, and ends Monday 28th January 2019, we are more interested in the New Year’s Eve party that they will be hosting. There will be many rides, such as, Dodgem Cars, and Bungee Trampolines. As well as carnival games, like the Laughing Clowns. Family fireworks begin at
9:30pm, there will also be
midnight fireworks.
