NSW sails ahead in style

ONE of Australia’s most famous tourist icons will light up tonight to pay tribute to frontline workers who have helped NSW surpass the important 80% double vaccination milestone.

The Sydney Opera House will be the backdrop for the celebratory moment from 7pm to midnight this evening, also serving as a visual reminder that travel and tourism normality is rapidly approaching.

“We want to thank everyone for doing their bit to look out for each other in this pandemic because it’s this combined effort that has enabled us to hit our vaccination targets and start to get our lives back on track,” NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said.

The light display builds on the state’s Let’s Do This campaign which launched in Aug to encourage vaccination.
