At the Sydney New Year's Eve celebration, what landmark is famously illuminated by fireworks?

At the Sydney New Year's Eve celebration, fireworks famously illuminate the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Sydney's celebration is staged around Sydney Harbour, with the bridge and Sydney Opera House forming its best-known visual backdrop. Because Sydney lies west of the International Date Line and uses an early time zone, its midnight fireworks are among the first major televised New Year's spectacles watched around the world.

The modern event includes several displays, notably the 9 p.m. family fireworks and the midnight fireworks. Aerial effects are launched from barges, buildings, and structures around the harbor, with the Harbour Bridge often serving as the central firing and lighting point.

The bridge is sometimes confused with the Opera House as the answer because both landmarks appear prominently in photographs. The Opera House is a key venue and backdrop, but the bridge is the landmark most famously associated with the fireworks display itself.
