Sydney Fireworks New Year 2017
n Melbourne the skies lit up in the city's greatest ever fireworks display.
The city skyline was crowned with a golden sparkle as explosives fired from an unprecedented 22 rooftops.
Almost half a million revellers crammed into the CBD to view the glittering $500,000 spectacular.
Among them was Emma Eastick, of Pakenham, who ventured into the CBD for New Year's Eve for the first time, with her parents visiting from the UK, her husband and two children.
"It's just to see the big fantastic fireworks live, rather than on the TV," she said.
Extra police are on the beat in the CBD and across Victoria, with operations bolstered by a new 24/7 monitoring centre feeding in live CCTV footage and intelligence.
Around 200,000 people packed into South Bank in Brisbane to watch the fireworks at 8.30pm, enjoying what fireworks designer Max Brunner described as "probably the best weather we've had in 10 years for New Year's Eve".
In Adelaide thousands of Big Bash League fans spilled over for the night's festivities at Elder Park.
Aussie Music Icons Diesel and Kate Ceberano sparked up the crowd at Darwin's waterfront, and Canberrans enjoed a family friendly concert at Civic Square and 9pm fireworks with a dance party for the grown-ups after midnight.
West Australians were the last to ring in the new year after some 20,000 have kicked off festivities at the annual Perth Cup at Ascot Racecourse.
