Can't remember the name of that beach place where everyone was watching the first sunrise of the new millennium, but wondered who on mumsnet we should say happy new year to first

I thought it was a competition - fastest fingers and all that!

I started the first thread on 2006 after sitting with my finger poised.....I was ridiculously proud

Yes but anyone living in Oz will probably beat you to it!! Although I suppose the time of all the threads is still GMT so it doesn't count! What I meant was who lives in a country where new year arrives first.

"The first populated land where the Sun will rise in the new millennium (and at the beginning of any other year) is at Kahuitara Point (44° 16' S 176° 9' W) on Pitt Island in the Chatham Islands, a dependency of New Zealand. The Sun will rise there at 16:04 (12/31) UT or 4:49 AM local time"

Anyone live here?
