Happy New Year, Australia

Sydney again turned on a pyrotechnical display to dazzle the world as one of the first major global cities to celebrate the start of 2009.

The $5 million show, with the theme of Creation, was a storm of never-seen-before fireworks and effects including simulated lightning, thunder and rain above the iconic Harbour Bridge.

An estimated 1.5 million Sydneysiders and tourists flocked to the harbour foreshore to soak up the sounds and sights of 100,000 individual pyrotechnic effects.


Fireworks exploded in a kaleidoscopic shower of light over Sydney's shimmering harbour, as the world's first major city to ring in 2009 celebrated the end of a decidedly rocky year with cheers, beers and a sense of relief.

Revellers stood awestruck as the smoke and smell of gunpowder from 5,000kg of explosives wafted across the water.
