  • Seeing the New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney Harbour is certainly a bucket list item. Well Don and I checked it off and we did it on a boat! Come with us as we jump on a Captain Cook charter and take in all that Sydney Harbour has to offer. Happy New Year's.

    G'day it's Steven from Down Under again ( Sydney )
    We Sydney siders tend to take all this for granted, which is unfortunate, we should certainly be more thankful.
    Welcome to all our international friends, especially from the US, you're all more than welcome to visit us, we've always loved America and it's people.
    Happy New year everyone!

      You absolutely should try to still see it live sometime in future - no fireworks like it in the world! Plus every year it's different with new fireworks and surprises that they haven't had before. One family takes care of the entire fireworks and has for years, and they spend the whole year designing it and coming up with new ideas. 🙂
