The Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia swapped its usual Saturday night fireworks for a drone light show recently, drawing several hundred spectators to the waterfront for a trial of what could become a new tradition.
The fireworks in Darling Harbour, not far from the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, have been a longstanding tradition. The New South Wales (NSW) government says it has been contributing to funding the popular Saturday firework displays since 2005, making the drone trial a notable change for regular visitors.
