NYE X SYDNEY











A record television audience of 1.1 billion people across the world watched the pyrotechnic spectacular.

Last night, Sydney made its mark on the world... Broadcasted out through the BBC, CNN and for the first time, the Chinese broadcaster CCTV.
A pulsing X on the Sydney Harbour Bridge reflected the Make Your Mark theme, replaced shortly after by a gold hand. Apparently, this was to celebrate the 10-years of fireworks designed and executed by the same person--this is to be her last and final year of fireworks.
A total of 56 tonnes of rubbish was collected - less than last year. Likely because we got a $1 return for any wine or beer bottles we returned to the bar.
With just 40 arrests that night, less revelers were arrested than an average night in Kings Cross (Sydney).
