NYE: Goat Island

Ring in the new year on Goat Island – Me-mel, located between the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Balmain. You'll enjoy uninterrupted views of the Sydney fireworks from this outstanding vantage point.

Bring the family along to Goat Island to welcome in 2023. Relax and enjoy a picnic dinner while you count down to the 9pm and midnight fireworks. You'll have front row views of these spectacular displays.

You can't buy food or drinks on Goat island, so you'll need to bring your own picnic dinner, snacks and a responsible amount of alcohol. You might also want to pack a picnic rug, torch and a radio, so you can settle in and listen to the NYE broadcast.

Meet with your ticket at Barangaroo Ferry Wharf at least 30 minutes before your ferry departs
There are limits to what you can bring to Goat Island, because of the ferry's restricted carrying capacity. You can bring hand luggage that you can carry on your lap on the trip to the island.
