The headline of the article I have recently read is "New Year's Eve celebrations around Australia". It was published on Janury 1 in 2013 in Sydney Morning Herald.
The article is devoted to celebration of New Year's Eve in Australia. According to the author it was really spectaculor event on that day or better say at night.
In 2013 this event brought together into Sydney about 1.5 million people and what is more interesting the reason these people gathered there was to watch the $6.6 million fireworks display light up the sky. I am quite impressed by the sum of money allocated for the fireworks as it is too big. But according to the article New Year is the essential holiday in Australia.
After watching video and pictures from this event I must confess that the view is really beautiful. Also the author presented a small review of people's impressions form what they had seen. People said it was amaizing and magnificent.
The author concludes that it was the largest celebration of New Year's Eve they ever had in Australia, where furthermore lots of people poured in.
