Which Sydney landmark is famously illuminated during the city's New Year's Eve fireworks?

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is famously illuminated during Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks.

Sydney's celebration centers on Sydney Harbour, where fireworks are launched from the Harbour Bridge, barges, and other structures. The bridge's distinctive arch and position beside the Opera House make it one of the most recognizable backdrops in televised New Year's celebrations.

The event includes a family-friendly early display and a major midnight display. The program has also used aerial formations, lighting effects, and projections, so the precise design changes from year to year. The harbour setting allows large crowds to watch from parks, boats, and waterfront vantage points.

The Sydney Opera House is also a prominent part of the scene, which can cause confusion about the question's landmark. The Opera House may be lit or incorporated into visual effects, but the bridge is the structure particularly associated with the headline fireworks and bridge-based effects.
