1. Amazing NYE Fireworks Across Australia
At the time of New Year’s Eve, the skies across Australia light up with dazzling displays of
fireworks. From Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge to Melbourne's Yarra River, cities and towns
across the country put on a show to bid farewell to the year gone by and welcome in the
new. The excitement and anticipation of this annual event is palpable, with crowds
gathering early to secure the best vantage points like the Opera House, NYE cruises and
more. The bursts of colour and sound create a mesmerising spectacle, as people of all ages
come together in celebration. From the stunning pyrotechnics to the festive atmosphere,
New Year's Eve fireworks across Australia are an experience not to be missed.
Sydney, NSW
All the action kicks in at Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Eve. There are two fireworks to treat
your eyes to. Family fireworks are on display at 9pm and then the main highlight– the
midnight fireworks. Creative designers use Sydney Harbour Bridge as a centrepiece, so you
get to see breathtaking pylon projections.
There are many vantage points to view the fireworks but for an exceptional experience you
can opt for one of the Sydney New Year’s Eve cruises. Soak in the prime views of the
spectacular fireworks from the exclusion zone as you wine, dine and sightsee on the waters.

2. Darwin, Northern Territory
Similar to Sydney, the waterfront Wharf precinct area in Darwin displays the early family
fireworks at 9pm and then at midnight. The ideal area to experience NYE is by the wharf and
the harbour. On a particularly warm night you might possibly even get an ocean breeze.
New Year’s Eve events and parties at various venues in Darwin are also the best vantage
points of the NYE fireworks.
Adelaide, South Australia
Feast your eyes on the fireworks at Rymill Park Area. These displays are supported by the
Adelaide city council. A big attraction for families, witness an early family friendly fireworks
display around 9.30pm and another at midnight. There will be multiple stages as the
centrepiece for performers to ring in the new year. Towards the beach at Glenelg there are
fireworks displays over the waters.
Brisbane, Queensland
As the fireworks display lights up at 8.30pm, the Brisbane River turns into a magnificent
spectacle. Both the community sponsored fireworks emanate from the Southbank Area.
Thousands of people crowd into the Southbank Parklands as early as 6am to secure the best
vantage spots. For an enjoyable spectator experience, you can even try going aboard one of
the cruises along the Brisbane river.
