Welcome the New Year on Cockatoo Island! Managed by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, Cockatoo Island 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, while avoiding 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.

After the fireworks, just head back to your tent for a good night's sleep - there's no crowds, traffic or long walks to deal with. 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.
