Tourists are reminded by the leading wholesaler of vacation packages to Australia, Down Under Answers, that it is not too late to welcome the birth of the New Year in Sydney or Hobart, Australia.

It is never too late to spend your New Year’s Eve revelry in Aussie style in the Land Down Under, particularly in Sydney, Australia.
According to Down Under Answers Sales Manager Jason Mesnick, undoubtedly, Sydney is the most renowned place where people celebrate New Year’s Eve in Australia. And for those who thrive to welcome the New Year in a much smaller and more intimate setting, the Tasmania state capital of Hobart is an excellent option.

Australia’s own Sydney Harbour is possibly the best place in the world to farewell the old year and usher in the new.

In Sydney, nearly a million and a half revelers can be expected to welcome and celebrate New Year’s Eve in Sydney Harbour. Every year, the balmy summer celebrations on the harbour brings out hoards of partygoers, locals, and tourists on Australia travel visa alike, looking to be in position to get the perfect view of the spectacular fireworks that have made Sydney world-renowned for its year-end celebrations.

New Year’s Eve celebrations in Sydney, Australia are an annual multi-tiered event held over Sydney Harbour every New Year’s Eve, centering on the Harbour Bridge. Usually, its main features are the two pyrotechnic displays the 9pm Family Fireworks and the Midnight Fireworks.

Every year, the event always takes on a new theme and is regularly viewed by more than one million people at the Sydney Harbour and one billion worldwide for the televised Midnight Fireworks.

This year, the 2011 – 2012 Sydney New Year’s Eve Theme is “time to dream”, based on the reason that “Australia was built upon dreams, from the dreams of past millennia to the dreams of recent settlers.”

The first pyrotechnic display, the “9pm Family Fireworks”, is part of the “Indigenous Smoking Ceremony” segment held at 8:00pm. Tourist on holiday visa Australia can expect to see a mysterious and exciting smoking ceremony fired from four barges from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander vessels as they cleanse the famous Sydney Harbour of negative spirits.

At 8:40 PM, fired off from four barges is a red ‘Falling Angels’. A lighting of a line of red flare pyrotechnics off the catwalk of the Sydney Harbour Bridge will also take place. This is part of the ‘Acknowledgement of Country’.

After this, the famous 9 PM Family Fireworks will occur featuring four barges, city buildings, and the catwalk of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, all synchronized to a soundtrack.

At Midnight, the grand finale will feature the world-famous Midnight Fireworks where fireworks launched in tandem from seven barges on the Sydney Harbour, seven city skyscrapers rooftops, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge will be exploding, all synchronized to a soundtrack.
