    As night fell on 31 December 1999, five million Sydneysiders looked forward to hours of splendid celebration. It was the eve of the twenty-first century; the eve of the third millennium. A feast of live entertainment was planned, much of it on Sydney’s majestic, incomparable harbour. An estimated one million people clustered on the foreshores, residents and tourists alike.
    Others took to the water in boats of all kinds. There had not been a scene like this since the Bicentennial festivities of Australia Day 1988. Countless lights sparkled and shone, in many colours of the rainbow; the water rippled; stars of the Australian music industry performed at harbourside venues. The highlight was a performance in the Opera House forecourt of Icehouse’s classic song ‘Great Southern Land.’ It was reworked and expanded for the occasion by its composer, Iva Davies, as part of a colossal 25-minute work, ‘Ghost of Time.’ The musicians took their final bows a few minutes before midnight.
    By now, literally billions of people were watching on television, their attention fixed on Australia’s premier city. The first of January 2000 would arrive in Sydney before dawning in any other comparable city on Earth. At ten seconds to midnight the countdown began. Then, as the new millennium arrived, there came a massive fireworks display - perhaps the most spectacular ever seen in Australia - that lasted 24 minutes.
    The focal points were Sydney’s two matchless icons of engineering: the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. At the end, a fiery cascade erupted downwards from the Bridge’s deck. The bells of a dozen churches pealed loudly.
    And then, as the smoke cleared, it came into view - emblazoned in gold letters just below the apex of the Bridge’s towering arch. The first written word of the third millennium, in distinctive copperplate script:
    "Eternity"
    The crowds cheered with gusto. This was a word deeply and affectionately associated with the history of Sydney - and with one man in particular. A man who wrote ‘eternity’ around the streets of Sydney. He did it using chalk or crayon every day for almost 35 years, perhaps half a million times in all.
    His name was Arthur Malcolm Stace. He had died 32 years before, but was far from forgotten.

      A lot of people bring this up, and it is correct. It's actually brought up every year. Let's not forget, if we want to get serious about it, that we also have daylight saving time, so the millennium actually started at 1am, January 1st, 2001. But for the average person in the street, when the clock struck midnight on January 1st 2000 was when "the date went all funny". I think that's what was meaningful to most people, and it's what counts.
