- First of the Australian midnight celebrations for the Australian Eastern Daylight Time Zone (AEDT, UTC + 1100) by ABC Australia as part of the international broadcast of '2000 Today' which involved segments from over 60 countries worldwide. The ABC was the Australian broadcaster, which provided several segments for the international broadcast. The program was an international consortium led by the BBC in the United Kingdom and WGBH in the United States.
This section crosses to the main midnight celebrations on AEDT -- Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart. Sydney's celebration focused on fireworks around Sydney Harbour and Harbour Bridge while the Melbourne celebration was a fireworks display along the Yarra near the CBD. Canberra's celebration was a fireworks display around Lake Burley Griffin and Hobart's was on the River Derwent. Queensland does not observe daylight saving and its midnight was an hour behind -- and in fact half an hour behind Adelaide which is on Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT)
This segment begins with crosses for the ABC broadcast to Melbourne (Derek Guille) and Sydney ('Roy and HG' -- Greig Pickhaver and John Doyle) before crossing to the midnight celebration as part of the international broadcast. Hosts for this part were then ex-Foreign Correspondent host George Negus and ABC journalist Maxine McKew. McKew would later contest the 2007 Federal Election for the ALP in the Division of Bennelong in Sydney for the ALP against long-incumbent Liberal Prime Minister John Howard. Labor won the seat and the election making John Howard the second Prime Minister in Australia's history to lose his seat at an election. McKew's time in office as the Member for Bennelong would be short lived as it was regained by the Liberal Party at the 2010 Election by candidate and former tennis player John Alexander.

I remember this, as a little 9 year old girl in Queensland. I had told my mum to wake me up in time for midnight, but she had fallen asleep herself. I woke up to the sound of the countdown starting on the TV, in front of the couch. I was the only member of the family to see the new millennium and I will never forget it for the rest of my life
Goodbye to the year of 1900 and hello to the year of 2000
This Countdown Audio would be for 2004-05 to 2008-09 for the Sesame Street New Year's Broadcast on 13:27
