The east coast of Australia would be one of the first places in the world to welcome in the year 2004. Fireworks would be launched from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House and across Sydney Harbour. A fifteen-second countdown was accompanied with the striking of a gong at midnight. For the first time, fireworks were launched off the vertical hangers of the bridge in a one-off display. 50,000 people would flood Sydney Harbour to watch the fireworks.
In Melbourne, fireworks were launched across the Yarra River bank area. There would be an intense police presence across the country making sure party goers were safe.
