Hundreds of Aussie revellers are still partying hours after the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in recent years.
More than a million people packed Sydney Harbour for the city's world famous midnight fireworks with similar scenes across the country.
But not everyone was ready to call it a night with many partying long after the sun came up.
Hundreds were seen still celebrating on Sunday morning after they headed to Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach to enjoy the the first sunrise for 2023.
As some slept off their big night, others stripped down and headed into the surf for a refreshing early morning dip.

Revellers were out in force to make up for time lost in the last three years, as celebrations were dampened by the black summer bushfires in 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic the following two years.
Partygoers turned out in droves across Australia to ring in 2023 in style - with local and state government organisers putting on celebrations bigger and better than ever before.
Crowds in the nation's focal point Sydney hit around the million mark, as thousands queued up well in advance earlier in the day to fight for a spot on the steps of the iconic Opera House.
