In Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration, which famous harbor landmark is illuminated by fireworks?
Answer
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Answer
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration illuminates the Sydney Harbour Bridge with fireworks.
The bridge is one of the central visual symbols of Sydney's annual celebration, alongside the Sydney Opera House and the harbor itself. Fireworks are launched from the bridge and nearby barges, creating a display visible from many shoreline vantage points.
Sydney's event became internationally famous because Australia reaches midnight relatively early among major global cities. Television networks and news organizations often use its midnight display as one of the first major New Year's images of the year.
A common mix-up is to say that the Opera House is the only launch site. The Opera House is a prominent illuminated landmark, but the Sydney Harbour Bridge is the signature structure named in descriptions of the fireworks display.
