Sydney sent a powerful message to welcome the new year. The words "peace" and "unity" were projected onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge on New Year's Eve.
The display came just weeks after a deadly knife attack at a nearby shopping center. That event shocked the city.
Thousands of people still gathered to watch the famous fireworks over the harbor. The light show proceeded as planned. But the bridge projection was a clear, symbolic gesture from city officials.
The simple words aimed to promote solidarity after a period of community trauma. The celebration mixed traditional spectacle with a moment of quiet reflection.
