RIVERFIRE in Brisbane!

Spectacular fireworks!
Roulettes - air show... yes I did manage to take this picture. They're fast!
Night shot of Brisbane
We went to Brisbane for the day to enjoy the River Festival and secure a good seat for the fireworks display that night (> 200,000 people come down to watch it). The day was perfect (+ 25 and mostly sunny) and just think Monday is the first day of spring here. For more on the weekend festival, see: http://www.riverfestival.com.au/riverfire/

The fireworks were simply amazing. Check out the video below for the finale of the 1/2 hour long fireworks display along the main river. The ball of fire in the beginning of the video is actually a F1-11 fighter jet dumping its fuel to get the desired effect. Check it out!!!

Night shot of Brisbane is fantastic, and I will also try to watch River Festival and secure a good seat for the fireworks display at night.
