What did you think of New Year? Rubbish! 
Countdown to 2012 is on 
More deaths feared in Sydney fire Australia was one of the first countries to celebrate the arrival of 2012 with a spectacular firework display centred around Sydney Harbour, its famous bridge and the iconic Opera House.
More than half a million people watched the display with some camping out since Friday to secure a good vantage point.
Sydney’s extravagant New Year’s Eve displays have become famous over the years especially since the world-acclaimed firework show at the turn of the millennium.
