  • Seeing the New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney Harbour is certainly a bucket list item. Well Don and I checked it off and we did it on a boat! Come with us as we jump on a Captain Cook charter and take in all that Sydney Harbour has to offer. Happy New Year's.

      You absolutely should try to still see it live sometime in future - no fireworks like it in the world! Plus every year it's different with new fireworks and surprises that they haven't had before. One family takes care of the entire fireworks and has for years, and they spend the whole year designing it and coming up with new ideas. 🙂
