River fire

In last post I promised to tell you about River Fire. I'm sorry it took me some time to get it out but anyway, here it is.
River Fire is the Grand Finale of the Brisbane Festival that has been ongoing during  September with different cultural and entertainment events every day. Although many interesting events the big thing that everybody's been waiting for is the fireworks, River Fire!

Many hours before it starts the walks along the river and the best viewing points are crowded with people trying to get the best positions and also having barbecues at the same time. You could say it is a real family party.
Before the darkness falls there is a show with fighter aircrafts and helicopters flying very low along the river. We walked to South Bank which is the place where most people gather and watched the air show from there. After that we walked to Kangaroo point cliffs for the fire works to have a shorter and less crowded walk home afterwards.




At 7 pm it started. There were loudspeakers deployed that played rock music that was synchronised with the fire works in a way that it changed theme and colours with songs. Exactly same fireworks were fired from six different platforms in the river and in addition to that also some extras from the some of the roofs. Together it gave a massive experience.
Impressing!

The guys on the picture to the left obviously lived for this event. They had taken a perfect position and had rigged a camera, probably already in the morning, to film the full show. They were actually dancing synchronised together to most of the songs during the show!  

 Cheers!
