The sunset on 25 January, ahead of Australia Day, casts a glow over Sydney Cove, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge as seen from Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair. The area marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet and the raising of the Union Flag of Great Britain by Arthur Phillip, and remains a popular spot for locals and tourists, with preparations for fireworks, public events, and community gatherings contributing to the festive atmosphere.
