00:00For some, it's never too early to seek out your vantage point for New Year's Eve, a sentiment
00:08shared by the head of Sydney's train network.
00:11Get here early, get to those vantage points or where you've got to go early because it
00:16is really important that you allow that time.
00:19With the trains running as usual, around a million people are expected to converge on
00:24Sydney Harbour for the fireworks, with more than 1,000 boats in prime position.
00:30Whether it's on the water, in the air or on public transport, police will be out in force
00:36across the state.
00:37What you don't want to start 2025 is in the back of a police truck because I can assure
00:42you that's where you will end up if you come in to do the wrong thing.
00:45Even with the rising cost of living, many revellers have still made the trip to Sydney
00:50to try to catch a glimpse of the iconic display.
00:53It's the best fireworks in the world, so why wouldn't you come here?
00:57The difference will be I think people might be spending less time and perhaps going for
01:01more budget conscious accommodation, etc.
01:04Not everyone will be getting their fireworks fix here in Sydney.
01:09Big displays are also planned in Gosford, Wollongong and Newcastle.
01:14Whatever the city, the countdown to showtime is starting to get people excited.
01:19I've heard so much about the Sydney fireworks and I'm just super excited to see them.
01:24But I feel like Sydney is just such a bucket list, so yeah.
01:28I'm excited if I come to see.
