Fireworks crackled, crowds cheered and music blared as New Zealand welcomed in 2021, in scenes that will not be repeated anywhere else around the globe this year.
Kiwis celebrated without restrictions thanks to the country quashing coronavirus, meaning thousands of people danced, hugged and chatted to whomever they wanted as Auckland rang in 2021 with a spectacular fireworks display and light show from the Sky Tower.
Revellers told local media that it was “amazing” that they were able to celebrate despite the global pandemic that was tearing through the rest of the world. “It feels lucky but it also feels like we have earned this as well,” said one. “We have done the mahi (work).”
