New Year's Eve revellers were taken back in time for a moment during Monday's fireworks after a typo was projected onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
''Happy New Year 2018'' lit up one of the bridge's pylons, with many taking to social media to point out the gaffe.
The error occurred during the midnight fireworks, where an estimated one million people watched on the edge of Sydney Harbour, and a further one billion looked on worldwide.
Only a select few though were clever enough to recognise the mistake, with one Twitter user calling it a "great error".

Sydney has Bondi (which isn't that great if you see it up close), Melbourne has St Kilda, Adelaide has Glenelg, Darwin has Mindal, Perth has Cottlesloe.
Hobart's beaches aren't great either...but it's never warm enough there to matter.

Remember when Jane Priest kissed Prince Charles back when he was 30? That was at Cottesloe. Prince Charles has been there twice.
Despite what BT, Perth is the best place on the planet... The only way you could get me to leave would be pay me a billion dollars and even then I would say no.
Cottesloe from different angles... And beaches are FREE in Australia. (god help us if they ever change that).

All State capitals are built on the coast, and each one has their own iconic beach with one strange exception; Brisbane. Its coastline is horrid.Quote from: "Bricktop"
Sydney has Bondi (which isn't that great if you see it up close), Melbourne has St Kilda, Adelaide has Glenelg, Darwin has Mindal, Perth has Cottlesloe.
Hobart's beaches aren't great either...but it's never warm enough there to matter.
Perth has, Port Beach, Leighton Beach, Cottesloe Beach... Scarborough Beach, Trigg... South Beach... OMG... more beaches that you can poke a stick at...
Scarborough Beach... VVVV(//%3C/s%3Ehttps://i.ibb.co/0s9D4fD/Scarborough-Beach-Perth.jpg%3Ce%3E)(//https) (//%3C/s%3Ehttps://i.ibb.co/yyQ1zVg/a6dee5284b0c18e449371288afecbfa8a3a4a010.jpg%3Ce%3E)(//https)
Look at that. I will bet you have a few good golf courses around too.
There are golf courses EVERYWHERE... there is one at Cottesloe Beach... Just google golf courses perth western Australia.

They claimed charging was necessary to give everyone a fair chance at getting a park.

As soon as some western government initiates a scheme to make more money, all the others jump on the bandwagon.
Although you do get two hours free before they start charging.
But by far and away the worst country to exploit parking fees is the UK. You could visit a small remote village in Scotland,and if you parked in a shopping car park or railway station car park you pay.

Whilst our weather is deemed to be "Mediterranean" like, it's actually more desert like. Extreme heat in summer, cold in winter.Quote from: "Bricktop"
you are the desert...
Perth has the true Mediterranean climate... we don't get easterlies very much which brings the hot air off our rocky deserts... we have the Fremantle Doctor otherwise known as The Roaring Forties... otherwise known as the sea breeze.
Now I get the cool sea breeze because I'm a couple of minutes inland from the coast but the poor bastards in the Darling Ranges feel like they're in a fan forced oven.
But you'd know MUCH more about your locale than I do... I just know that on a tour in Hobart 1995, I learned from the tour guide, Perth, Hobart and Adelaide were the driest capital cities....
I think that 1995 stat has changed a little now... I think Canberra is now drier than Perth... (I find that notion AMAZING)

Israel is a very small country, but the rainfall average between North and South is greater than Australia which is a huge country. It can be as little as 100 mm per year in the South to 1100 mm in the North.

I can't stand their accents, honestly. I want to cover my ears when they speak. As though the English, Scottish, and Irish accents aren't bad enough...Quote from: "@realAzhyaAryola"

I can't tell the difference..
I can barely distinguish between Australia and New Zealand.

And for SEX, they say six (6)
Someone somewhere a century ago got their i and e mixed up I think.
Even if a person from NZ who has been in Australia for 30+ years, one can pick up that difference in accent alone.

There is a time honoured test to determine if the person you're speaking with is New Zealand or Australian.
Ask them to say "six dollars and sixty six cents worth of fish and chips".
It will sound like "Sux dollahs and suxty sux cints worth of fush and chups."

Many criminal gangs are Maoris, as well as bikies.
Australia deports hundreds of Kiwis for breaking laws in Australia.
But to be fair, the vast majority are good people who work hard and are part of their communities.

Bikies are shit. They're just druggies and rapists who should bathe more often. Stick them in the Army and send them to Iraq. Revoke citizenship.
God's Garbage or maybe it's the Mongrel Mob...
Bikies ran new gang out of town
The West Australian10 Mar 2018 Grant Taylor
Michael Moke, right, in 1989.
Either the Mongrel Mob have short memories, or its members are gluttons for punishment.
The last time the predominantly Maori gang tried to muscle its way into Perth, they got their butts kicked by WA's existing bikie gangs, who sent them packing.
It was 1989 and WA had only four bikie clubs, who fiercely protected their turf.
So when the Mob declared itself to be a new force in town, it soon found itself embroiled in open warfare with the four clubs, who joined forces to run the interlopers out of town.
The violence culminated in the Mob's vice-president Selwyn Wharepapa being firebombed at his work, before being shot just days later as he stood outside his Swan View home.
Police took the extraordinary step of dragging the feuding gangs to police headquarters in East Perth, where a truce was hammered out. In reality it was more of a capitulation, with the Mob's State president Michael "Pixie" Moke agreeing to shut up shop and leave WA for good.
Almost 30 years on, WA has 11 bikie gangs whose growth seems to be never-ending.
The Australian Border Force's efforts to deport gang members who are not Australian citizens is helping. But it is clear that WA Police need greater powers to rein in gang growth. The State Government has promised a solution with anti-consorting laws. They have worked in NSW and appear to be a simple, effective measure.
It is now up to the State Government to deliver sooner rather than later.
