Millions of revellers have packed the Sydney Harbour foreshore to ring in 2025.

The world-famous spectacle got off to a chaotic start after a last minute stoppage by rail workers on the city’s busiest night of the year caused delays and cancellations ahead of the 9pm Calling Country fireworks.

ABC’s coverage of the NYE celebrations was quickly slammed by viewers watching from home while Charlie Pickering became tongue-tied while introducing the coverage.  

The pre-midnight headline act Robbie Williams also divided viewers by using his live performance to plug his new biopic, Better Man mid-set.

Meanwhile, Melbourne rang in the New Year with a light show while Brisbane and Perth will celebrated with riverside fireworks displays.
