Can you imagine a warm Christmas? Here in Sydney, the most populated city in Australia, it’s possible! Because the country of kangaroos and koalas is in the southern hemisphere, so from December to February Summer is here.
Definitely the best plan to host the New Year is to watch the fireworks lights and sound show with the background scene of the Sydney Opera House. If you can’t rent a private boat or a ferry, do not worry! Because there are several green areas and public places in the port where you can sit on a chair or lie on a towel to picnic and watch the fireworks show and landscape of the city.
