We went to watch NYE 2013 Sydney fireworks and we have to get there really early in the morning. 12 t0 14 hours prior to the time that the show was going to get started. This guy was sitting the whole time(12 hrs) on his chair with a big beach umbrella and a tripod, just waiting. He was literally blocked our way to look at the bridge. It was not possible to move to another spot or even to move an inch!! It was crazy crowded.
