Birchgrove
Birchgrove Park in Birchgrove, near Balmain, is a beautiful family-friendly spot to watch the fireworks. This is definitely a location where it’s best to use public transport, as parking availability is limited. (Image: Getty)
Darling Harbour
Get close to all the action at Darling Harbour, where you’ll get a perfect view of the fabulous fireworks. There are loads of bars and restaurants around to fill you up earlier in the evening, and there’s also a massive kids’ playground. (Image: Getty)
Bradfield Park Milsons Point
Bradfield Park in Milson’s Point is a perfect family-friendly spot to watch the fireworks, and it’s usually a little less hectic than the CBD. Best to use public transport – Milson’s Point train station is just a short walk away – as parking is very limited. Kirribilli also has lots of delicious restaurants and bars to enjoy earlier in the evening. (Image: Getty)
Rose Bay
Rose Bay is such a beautiful part of Sydney and an idyllic location for those in the Eastern Suburbs to take in the night sky on Australia Day. The Rose Bay Foreshore on Calendonia Road is a small spot but can get quite busy, so make sure to secure your spot early. (Image: Getty)
North Head, Manly
Want to watch the fireworks but don’t want to leave the comfort of the Northern Beaches? Don’t worry, you can still get a cracking view from North Heath in Manly. (Image: Getty)
