Inspiration to use the
Sydney Harbour Bridge as a
launchpad for fireworks came
from the use of fireworks on
the Brooklyn Bridge as part
of it's 100th Anniversary
celebrations in 1983. Syd
Howard, pyrotechnian used
his inspiration and the
chances given to him to put
fireworks displays on Sydney
Harbour to use the Sydney
Harbour Bridge as a
launchpad for fireworks.

His first opportunity was in
1986 for the 75th
Anniversary Review of the
Royal Australian Navy. Here
he introduced the
'waterfall' effect as well
as a pyrotechnic message on
the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The message read 'NSW
salutes Royal Australian
navy' and employed thousands
of cigarette-style fireworks
to create the lettering. It
hung over the side of the
pedestrian walkway.
