New Year’s Eve 2018: Australia welcomes in the New Year

Damp Sydneysiders and tourists have celebrated the new year under golden, lime and silver skies lit by the city's world-famous New Year's Eve fireworks spectacular.

An early thunderstorm and late scattered showers threatened to mute festivities but hundreds of thousands of buoyant revellers kept spirits high for the record-breaking midnight show.

Under the banner of "the pulse of Sydney", the Harbour Bridge again played centrepiece as 6000 fireworks and other features were fired from it during the 12-minute program.

More than 8.5 tonnes of fireworks were set off over the harbour, including 35,000 shooting comets and new designs that allowed gold palms to change colour mid-explosion.

Lime and peach were two unusual colours used while silver won out over gold for the famed waterfall effect off the bridge floor.
