The Fireworks and the Harbour
Every year there is a theme to the night, this year it is Time to Dream. Marc Newson designed this year's theme and logo. The theme encapsulates Sydneysiders' hopes and aspirations and at the stroke of midnight the canvas will be bare, what will you dream of for 2012? A four colours endless rainbow logo represents the broad range of people from different cultures and backgrounds. The rainbow includes violet to represent community, peace, social stability and connectedness; blue to symbolise the harbour, sky and future aspirations; green for the environment, nurturing and growing; and yellow, which epitomises optimism, happiness and a sunny attitude.
The official charity of 2011 Sydney New Year’s Eve is CARE Australia, an international humanitarian aid organisation defending dignity and fighting global poverty. www.care.org.au

Dawning in the age of the Apocalypse this Eve of the New Year; in an event more explosive than the harbour’s fireworks display, Chinese Laundry will countdown to 2012 with:
FIVE different dancing areas, FOUR different music genres, THREE hour set with DnB legend—LTJ BUKEM, TWO time Laundry favourites—MIGHTYFOOLS, ONE badass Boss Bass crew in the cave. A HAPPY NEW YEAR INDEED!
