The report praises the orderly crowd management as Sydney experiences its most successful holiday. No fatalities occurred due to traffic, though one man fell from cliffs at 4 pm, and about 20 people were swept from tram footboards as crowds filled the cars, a risk deemed expected given the density. The piece hails the event as memorable for generations and hopeful for lasting positive results.
