Which structure is the focal point of Sydney's midnight New Year's Eve fireworks display?

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the focal structure of Sydney's midnight New Year's Eve fireworks display.

Sydney's celebration is staged around Sydney Harbour, with fireworks launched from the Harbour Bridge and nearby barges. The bridge's steel arch provides a highly recognizable center for the display, while the Sydney Opera House forms another prominent part of the harbor skyline. Television coverage often shows both landmarks together, which can cause the Opera House to be named incorrectly as the answer.

The event includes more than the midnight fireworks. Sydney has traditionally presented an earlier family fireworks show, a maritime display, and a midnight program watched by large crowds around the harbor. Because Sydney lies close to the International Date Line on the western side of the Pacific, its midnight celebration is among the first major global New Year's Eve broadcasts each year.
