Brisbane RiverFire - Precursor

So, if you plan to come to Brisbane, try and visit in September and be sure to catch our river festival.  The festival always culminates in the biggest and best firework display ever ... here are a few shots to keep us entertained as we wait for the main event... we are lucky, this is the view from our balcony!

As many as 500,000 people descend on Brisbane to watch and our military (RAAF) put on a spectacular show throughout the afternoon to keep the crowds entertained and far from bored...

Super Hornets do a flypast .... weaving their way through city buildings ... the power and the noise defy description ...

Helicopters thrill the crowds as they sweep and turn around the river ... hovering ... the wind from their blades sweeping across the crowds ...

a final flypast from the Hornets before the main event ... when the city lights up and the crowds stand agog awaiting the wondrous performance of fireworks and lights ....
