Crowds surge into Sydney to watch fireworks spectacular
Large crowds gather in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide
Barbies sizzle, fireworks dazzle and bubbly flows to ring in 2013
THE new year is here. The smoke is clearing. The bubbly has flowed. The traffic queues are growing. But the memories will be spectacular.
City skylines exploded in gold, pink, green and blue around the nation as midnight ticked over.
That's what the crowds came for - as well as the barbies, the beer and the besties.
The party that starts the world's New Year celebrations didn't disappoint yet again.
As one of the first major cities in the world to welcome in 2013, Sydney has set the standard. Just ask the millions who watched the spectacular display both in person and on the television.
On a warm summer night, an estimated 1.5 million people poured into the city to watch the $6.6 million fireworks display light up the sky - twice - from the harbour foreshore, at Darling Harbour and other vantage points with the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge playing a major part.
Pop princess Kylie Minogue, the event's creative ambassador who chose the theme of Embrace for the celebrations, started the midnight show with the press of a button.
A giant set of red lips in the middle of the harbour bridge counted down to midnight, before the fireworks set off.
A one-of-a-kind sparkling semiquaver - to honour Kylie's 25 years in music - was one of 100,000 individual pyrotechnic creations this year, including brand new koala, octopus and hand images up in lights.
Sydney's skyline exploded in gold, pink, green and blue first at 9pm for the family-oriented curtain raiser and again at midnight.
Colours streamed from four barges situated around the harbour, with gold flashes cascading like tinsel as a gold butterfly-like design lit up the bridge.

"It was all great, amazing," said Lee Whittaker, from Denistone, who brought her kids Mel and Leon with her.
Across the rest of the country, other major cities hosted their own fireworks displays and parties.
More than half a million people filled the Melbourne city centre with live sites at Treasury Gardens, Flagstaff Gardens and the Docklands.
Throughout the evening, free concert at Federation Square had tens of thousands dancing away the remaining hours of 2012.
