New Zealand Crowds Gather In Restriction-Free To Ring In 2021 – Photo.

With crowded streets in New Zealand, scaled-down festivities almost everywhere else and a global wish for better days to come, humanity has begun bidding good riddance to the year of the pandemic today and greeting the dawn of 2021. 

Unmourned but never to be forgotten, 2020 has already passed into history in New Zealand, parts of Australia and much of the Pacific, with the rest of the planet set to cross the invisible threshold in the coming hours.  

In New Zealand, where only 25 people have ever died of Covid-19 and restrictions are virtually non-existent, crowds of partygoers packed into Auckland streets for midnight fireworks. In Australia, which has also fended off the worst of the pandemic, life was normal enough for some revellers to gather in Melbourne and Sydney.
