The Salute to Australia (approx. 11.30am–12.05pm) with the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force combining to deliver a powerful military ceremony, with RAAF fast jets flying in formation above the harbour. 

The Tug and Yacht Ballet (approx. 12.05pm–12.15pm) with yachts, tugboats, jet-skis and ferries gliding in precision across the water, accompanied by helicopters above, in an epic piece of musical magic.

The spectacular Australia Day Fireworks at 9.00pm. It’s like NYE again!
