In Australia, New Zealand and around the South Pacific it would be one of the first places to welcome in the New Year. Sydney would this year, welcome in a new tradition of launching fireworks on Sydney Harbour as Australia welcomes in the New Year. The Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks display was designed by Syd Howard Fireworks. The event used the pylons, arch and catwalk of the bridge, city buildings and one barge located in front of the Sydney Opera House. There was a ten-second pyrotechnic countdown. Each second, one shooting comet shot off a different building starting from North Sydney and finishing at AMP Tower to welcome in 1997.
