Does anyone know of any documents written on the history of the New Years Eve Celebrations held each year on Sydney Harbour?

Perhaps the following and subsequent links that you find on it will be helpful to you. I hope that they are.

The following is from the site New Year's Eve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Australia
Each major city around Australia holds New Year's Eve celebrations, usually accompanied by a fireworks display amongst other events. Perth's fireworks are let off from barges along the Swan River, whilst 50,000 people annually gather at sites around the Brisbane River in the city to watch a fireworks display while events are held in the city and at Southbank. The two largest New Year's Eve celebrations in Australia are held in its two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney. Over 1 million people gather around Sydney Harbour every year for the celebrations.
