If you want to kick off the New Year with a memorable bang, watching Melbourne’s NYE fireworks is an excellent choice. Instead of spending a fortune to enter one of the city’s numerous rooftop bars, there are plenty of locations where you can enjoy the view for free.

Secure a great spot along the St Kilda Foreshore or by the banks of the Yarra River and get ready for some spectacular sights. A fireworks show will take place at 9:30 PM for the kids, with the major display lighting up the sky at midnight.
