Australia welcomed the new year 2022 with spectacular long-lasting salutes and fireworks.
Live broadcast from Sydney was conducted by Reuters on the social network Facebook.
New Year’s Eve in most of this country began at 15:00 Kiev time.
Traditionally, Australia’s largest pyrotechnic show takes place in Sydney over Port Jackson Bay.
Fireworks and salutes in Sydney lit up the sky for about 13 minutes.
In particular, the largest fireworks were launched from the Harbor Bridge. As in previous years, salutes and fireworks flew from all sides of the bridge – upward and from both sides.
At the end of the fire show, a pyrotechnic waterfall became incredible beauty from the bridge, which seemed to fall into the waters of Port Jackson Bay.
In addition, spectacular fireworks were launched from the roof of the Sydney Opera House and from boats anchored in the bay.
Before Australia, at 13:00 Kiev time, New Zealand celebrated the New Year.
In this country this year there were no fireworks, which are traditionally launched from the largest structure in the southern hemisphere of the planet – from the telecommunication tower “Sky Taver” (328 m), which is located in the largest city in the country – Auckland. This tower was only highlighted in different colors. But in parts of Auckland, fireworks and salutes could be seen in the sky. At the same time, drivers who were passing the Oakland Bridge in Waitemata Harbor were honking their horns for the new year.
