Almost 60,000 fireworks loaded on barges across Sydney’s harbour

Almost 60,000 individual fireworks are being loaded onto barges across Sydney Harbour for the New Year's celebrations. There will be new colours and new effects lighting up the sky above the Harbour. The fireworks display has been meticulously planned by the director of the display Fortunato Foti. Mr Foti and his family have been involved in putting on the New Year's Eve display for 27 years. People are being advised to plan ahead and leave their cars at home due to road closures.
