Take a look at Sydney's amazing fireworks display

It is now 1 January, 2013 in Sydney, Australia. This is how they welcomed it.

OKAY, SO WE pretty much admitted our jealously when we posted pictures of the fireworks display which took place over the Sydney Opera House before it was even midnight.

Now that we’ve seen the show they put on for the main event, we just have to come out and say it: Sydney know how to organise a fireworks display.

Don’t believe us? Check out the images below.
