It was good but my little girl was frightened so we had to leave early.

Re: Brisbane River Fire!
We just got back , had a great time. The kids loved it !!!
I don't think your allowed on the river using a boat as its is a restricted zone during the fireworks.
We will def be doing it again next year

Re: Brisbane River Fire!
Hey Lee top pics and will check the vid's tomoz. I would now but Floyd - The Wall is on in my ears, and it's one of them nights ... 
Don't wanna upset Media Player right now ...
Fair play for the effort in uploading pics. I know what effort is involved ...
Karma to you!
When it was on I said to Nic "see! ... we coulda been up there on the river!" ... but after seeing a bit more of the show I wondered how close you could actually get? ...
Anyway, looked bloody good on the TV at home ...

Re: Brisbane River Fire!
My apartment is about 300m away from where the fireworks for with a balcony facing right at them!
Unfortunately jetlag caught up with me and even tho I set 4 alarms I slept right through them and woke up at 8.30pm when they'd finished
I'm gutted.
On that note, I'm in Brisbane for another 11 days or so if anyone can reccomend a good pub/nightclub and wants to meet up for a drink...
