At Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration, which harbor landmark is the main fireworks backdrop?

At Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is the main fireworks backdrop.

Sydney's major New Year's Eve display takes place around Sydney Harbour, where the bridge and the Sydney Opera House form the best-known visual setting. Fireworks are launched from the Harbour Bridge, barges, and other locations, creating a show visible from waterfront parks, boats, and elevated viewpoints.

The celebration is famous internationally because Australia's east-coast time zone reaches midnight relatively early for much of the world. The event includes an earlier family fireworks display as well as the main midnight presentation, helping children and families participate before late-night celebrations.

The bridge is sometimes mistaken for the event's sole landmark because it dominates television images. The Sydney Opera House is also a major part of the harbor skyline, but the question's central fireworks landmark is the steel arch bridge, opened in 1932.
