New Year’s Eve in Sydney
In the early 1980’s I lived and worked in Sydney and count myself as being extremely fortunate to have experienced New Year’s Eve in Sydney. This is one of the most lavish displays of aerial entertainment you could ever experience.
The firing of the Fort Denison cannon at 1pm starts off the celebrations of ringing out the Old Year and welcoming in the New Year. Every hour on the hour the cannon fires on its countdown towards midnight. Like the tolling of the bell, the countdown offers up not one, but two firework displays with the larger one at midnight; the Family Fireworks and Harbour of Light Parade which take place at 9 pm and the magnificent Sydney Bridge Fireworks display at midnight.
New Year’s Eve on Sydney’s Harbour Bridge is just awesome, it is one of the most spectacular fireworks displays I have ever seen. Unique in that there are so many advantage points around the bay to stake your claim to, so long as you get there early.
Happy New Year!
