Sydney puts on dazzling 2019 fireworks, but gets the year wrong

It was still 2018 in Bulgaria, so not totally incorrect.

One way to get promotion for your city :)

Being the first major world city to hit midnight, it already gets quite a bit of publicity.

PowerPoint auto correct...whoops.

I for one am ready for 2019. Bring it on!

These fireworks extravaganzas take 15 months to prepare with a team of 30 odd people. You only had one job!

I love that they just laughed about it.In Japan,there would have been demotions,firings,pay reductions,blanket apologies and maybe even a suicide or two but the Aussies just laughed it off.Good on yer mates.

Hey, if you drink enough, 2018 works!

Got a nice chuckle from this story. Life happens. At least nobody was physically harmed.

Gotta ask. Did they reuse the numbers from last year and just think the savings was good for the party?
