At Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks, which famous bridge is used as a central launch and display structure?

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks use the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a central launch and display structure.

The bridge, with its distinctive steel arch, forms one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the annual celebration. Fireworks are also launched from barges in Sydney Harbour and from other structures around the waterfront, creating a large-scale display visible from shorelines, parks, boats, and elevated viewpoints. The Harbour Bridge helps frame the spectacle beside the Sydney Opera House.

Sydney’s celebration is widely watched because Australia reaches January 1 relatively early in the global sequence of time zones. The bridge itself opened in 1932 and connects Sydney’s central business district with the North Shore. It is sometimes called “the Coathanger” because of its shape, but that nickname should not be confused with the separate Sydney Opera House, which is another major visual feature of the fireworks broadcast.
