New Year celebrations in Sydney surreal experience
The New Indian Express Kollam|January 02, 2025
Sydney Opera House and Harbour are fabled land on festivity days.
GOMESH S @ Sydney

"NEW years are overrated... Fireworks are such a cliché." But not here.

On December 31 it turns into a dreamland. The sky turns crimson, blue and green... the colour of all kinds of fireworks that booms and thuds while ushering in the New Year.

As this diarist walked towards the Summer Hill station at about 9 PM on December 31, it already seemed late for the party. The Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge were already packed so were the roads towards the most-sought after place on the planet on New Year's eve. The station PA system confirmed this and asked those walking towards these points to celebrate locally.
