CARTOON superheroes shone on a highrise 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 highrise 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.
The midnight spectacular is expected to draw 80,000 people to the riverbank at South Bank with laser light shows and fireworks that launch underwater among the highlights.
"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 is being offered free of charge to revellers in Queensland's south-east from 9pm (AEST) until 5.30am (AEST) on New Year's Day.
Up in Queensland's north, torrential rain did little to dampen spirits as the early fireworks show along Cairns's esplanade went off as scheduled.
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 could face a damp start to 2013.
