Don't wanna upset Media Player right now ... :)

Fair play for the effort in uploading pics. I know what effort is involved ... :thumbsup:

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? ... :unsure:

Anyway, looked bloody good on the TV at home ... :)


No probs with the pics as I had to put them up on my facebook anyway :)

It's cool they do allow boats as I thought they didn't. I saw on the map here : http://www.riverfestival.com.au/rive...antage-points/ that shown "Prohibited areas". It must mean those with no special flags allowed :D

Would be a cool place to have a Brisbane / Gold Coast meet next year ... anyone own a boat big enough ? :rofl:

We were right in front of Story Bridge, down by the Eagle Street restaurants. The show on the bridge was flamin awesome! Not too busy either, we walked out the English pub at 6.45 and watched from next to where channel 7 were broadcasting, front row view so to speak. Possibly the best show I've seen!

Lee, great pics mate; the dump and burn display was unreal, hey??!!!! Possibly the best use for that last bit of oil we have, unbelievable!!!

Its the Roulettes, the Royal Australian Air Force's elite formation aerobatic display....

Lucky for me the company decide to let us view from the office... Just happened to be on the 21st floor above eagle street pier so a perfect view. The Bridge was great and had good views of two barges. F111 was higher then the friday practice but still good.
