CARTOON superheroes shone on a high-rise wall as fireworks lit up the beachfront for the New Year's Eve curtain-raiser at Surfers Paradise.
Thousands of revellers took in the 9pm (AEST) show, a precursor to the main event at midnight, which is billed as one of the biggest fireworks displays in Queensland for New Year's celebrations.
Organisers went with a superheroes theme for this year's family party, hoping to encourage children to attend as their favourite superhero and several little Spidermen and Supermen could be seen among the crowd.
Projected images of superheroes such as the Phantom and Batman were displayed on a high-rise building adjacent to the beach as the fireworks display began.
"It's going to be a big year, bring on 2013," Coomera resident Steve Hoffmann, who brought his wife and son to the display, told AAP.
The event was one of several held up and down the Gold Coast while other centres in Queensland also lit up with their family-friendly displays.
The main event at Brisbane's South Bank had to be delayed by 10 minutes due to a helicopter needing the airspace above the Brisbane river to deliver a patient to nearby hospital but after that it was all systems go.
Crowd numbers were reported to be down for the midnight spectacular, with about 65,000 revellers turning up to the riverbank at South Bank to watch laser light shows and fireworks that launch underwater.
"We've been working on a few surprises," Skylighter Fireworks director Max Brunner told Brisbanetimes.com.
"All I can say is that this year will be the biggest display a Brisbane New Year's Eve has ever had."
Public transport was free of charge to revellers in Queensland's southeast until 5.30am (AEST) on New Year's Day.
Cairns also suffered a drop in numbers due to wet weather during the day.
The heavy rain appears to have headed south leaving clear skies at midnight for revellers in Cairns and Townsville, though other centres such as Mackay and Bowen faced a damp start to 2013.
Up to 50,000 people were thought to have attended the Surfers Paradise festivities.
Police praised crowds for their good behaviour and attitude, with no major incidents taking place and just two arrests made at South Bank before midnight.
