Which Sydney landmark is famously used as a launch platform during the city's New Year's Eve fireworks?

Sydney Harbour Bridge is famously used as a launch platform during the city's New Year's Eve fireworks.

Sydney's celebration centers on the harbor, where fireworks are launched from the Harbour Bridge, nearby buildings, and barges on the water. The bridge's illuminated arches and the Sydney Opera House create the distinctive skyline seen in broadcasts around the world.

The event includes an earlier family display and a major midnight display, although schedules and program details can vary by year. Boats crowd the harbor, while viewing areas around Circular Quay, the North Shore, and the central waterfront fill with spectators.

The Opera House is a major visual symbol of the celebration, but it is not the answer to a question about the landmark used as a fireworks launch platform. Sydney's event is also notable because Australia's time zone places the city among the major international celebrations occurring early in the global New Year sequence.
