Which New Year's Eve landmark is lit by fireworks beside Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia?

The Sydney Opera House is the landmark lit by fireworks beside Sydney Harbour Bridge during Australia's famous New Year's Eve celebration.

Sydney's event takes place around Sydney Harbour, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge forming the central visual setting. Fireworks are launched from the bridge, buildings, and other locations around the harbor, creating displays that can be seen from many vantage points.

The celebration is internationally prominent partly because Australia's time zone allows Sydney to welcome the new year relatively early among major global cities. The event includes more than the midnight display: organizers have used air shows, harbor activities, and a family-friendly earlier fireworks program.

The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are sometimes mixed up in descriptions of the display. The bridge is a major launch structure, while the Opera House is the distinctive sail-like building illuminated as part of the harbor panorama.
