During Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks, which landmark is traditionally the central illuminated structure?

Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks traditionally center on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The bridge stands beside Sydney Harbour and provides a highly recognizable structure for pyrotechnic displays. Fireworks are launched from the bridge itself, nearby barges, and other points around the harbour, creating a wide panorama visible from the foreshore, parks, boats, and elevated viewpoints.

Sydney's celebration includes an earlier family display as well as the major midnight fireworks. The program commonly features an illuminated bridge effect, aerial formations, and coordinated music. Its timing also makes it one of the first major international New Year's Eve broadcasts watched by audiences in other time zones.

The nearby Sydney Opera House is also strongly associated with the event and is often lit or framed in photographs. That can cause confusion, but the bridge is the landmark traditionally used as the main fireworks platform and visual centerpiece.
