To experience New Years celebrations in Sydney has been on our buckets list for many years. On our third trip to Australia we finally made it. There are several spots around the city from where to see the fireworks. A lot of them requires a purchase of ticket to get access. There are a few open areas that also get a good view however you probably have to get there real early in the morning or spend the night to get a decent view.
We purchased tickets to access the Harbour Party 2018 at Luna Park Sydney. This gave an amazing view of the New Years Eve Fireworks from Milsons Point. From there we got beautiful views of both the bridge and the Sydney opera house at the same time.
As the fireworks came to an end, the boats in the inner harbor left the area in a boat parade. As we later on, walked over the Harbor bridge back to center of town we got beautiful views of Sydney harbor from above.
