One million to descend on Sydney Harbour for NYE fireworks

Firework fanatics are already camped out at Sydney's most popular vantage points, as one million people prepare to descend on the Harbour for New Year's Eve. There are fewer ticketed places this year so competition for the best spots is expected to be tough. There are 49 official vantage points, 38 of which are free on a first come first serve basis. The Sydney Opera House will open at 7am. Sydneynewyearseve.com/vantage-points will provide live updates as spots fill up.
