At Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks, which landmark is illuminated above the harbour?

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the landmark illuminated above the harbour during Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks.

Sydney's celebration is staged around Port Jackson, the harbour commonly called Sydney Harbour. Fireworks are launched from multiple locations, including the Harbour Bridge and barges on the water, creating a display visible from many foreshores and vantage points.

The Sydney Opera House is also an important visual feature of the event, but it is not the landmark named in this answer. The bridge's steel arch and distinctive profile make it the central symbol in many photographs and television broadcasts.

Sydney is among the first major cities to welcome the Gregorian calendar's new year because Australia lies west of the International Date Line. The event includes an earlier family fireworks display before the main midnight show, helping make it accessible to children as well as late-night crowds.
