At Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration, which harbor landmark is famously used as a fireworks focal point?

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the famous fireworks focal point of Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration.

Sydney's annual celebration uses the harbor as its central setting, with major fireworks launched from the bridge, barges, and other locations around the water. The bridge's large steel arch makes it especially visible from many vantage points across the harbor.

The event is known for an earlier family fireworks display and a midnight display. Sydney is often among the first major cities to welcome the new year because Australia lies close to the International Date Line's western side, although other Pacific locations celebrate earlier.

The Sydney Opera House is also a major visual symbol in broadcast images and is part of the harbor setting. It is therefore a frequent answer in informal quizzes, but the bridge is the landmark traditionally identified with the fireworks focal point.
