Default First place for New Years

I'm not sure if this should go here, but here it goes!
where on earth experiences New Years first?
Like, is it a country or a zone?
I'm curious!

I always thought it was Australia. I remember seeing major cities of the world celebrating on TV and Sydney was always first so I am assuming it's Australia.
