Featuring highlights from spectacular fireworks across Australia, including Sydney Harbour, images from the Dawn Performance on the sails of the Sydney Opera House, the Woodford Fire Festival, and the traditional Aboriginal “Inma” ceremony and “Mimi” spirit stilt dance. The greatest celebration Australia has ever seen.
