Welcome the New Year on Cockatoo Island! Cockatoo Island, managed by Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, is one of the best places in Sydney to watch the world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks. Enjoy a relaxing evening with friends and family, without the crowds, long walks or traffic jams at other Sydney Harbour viewing points. There’s always intense demand for New Year’s Eve accommodation on Cockatoo Island so make sure you don’t miss out by booking your camping and glamping packages and camping sites today.

Cockatoo Island is ideally located to enjoy the fireworks on both the Harbour Bridge (4 km away) and the western fireworks barge, which is located immediately in front of the island's Eastern Apron. If that's not enticing enough, the "Harbour of Light" boat parade passes in front of the island between 10pm and 11pm.

After the fireworks, just put your head down in your tent. You don't have to deal with the crowds, endure a long walk home or get caught up in traffic. You will have a hassle-free New Year's Eve in a family friendly environment! Enjoy a leisurely ferry ride home on New Year's Day or turn your stay into a real camping holiday and stay longer on Cockatoo Island.
