Which landmark is the centerpiece of Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks?

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the centerpiece of Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks.

Sydney’s annual celebration uses the harbour as its stage, with fireworks launched from barges, buildings, and the bridge. The bridge’s illuminated steel arch provides the most recognizable visual element, while the Sydney Opera House forms another prominent part of the scene.

The event is famous for occurring relatively early in the global sequence of major New Year celebrations because Sydney lies west of the International Date Line in the UTC+10 time zone during daylight-saving time. Its televised display has helped make the harbour skyline an international symbol of New Year’s Eve.
