River Fire / Powder Finger

Today was River Fire day.... this is a big event where just about everybody in Brisbane gather to watch fireworks go off all down the river with a big ending of a F1 11 jet doing a dump and burn..... great for the environment... not...... (which is why this is probably the last time they are going to be doing this)....

We started out at Southbank but then moved onto Fridays as it gave a better view of the Story Bridge (where the main fireworks are set off)....

So here we are sat enjoying a nice bottle of red wine and a lovely steak then a very good view of the fireworks.... I took mostly video but here are a couple of pics I managed to get....










I did not manage to get a picture of the jet as it went so fast I wanted to capture it on video..... it was amazing! the heat that comes from it is intense!

Also after this had finished I went to the bar to be confronted by 2 blokes..... anyway to cut a long story short.... Sy and I both ended up been given 2 tickets to watch Powder Finger (who were playing at the River Stage just down the road).... so off we scurried..... BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!







Well an unexpected surprise and a fantastic day :)
