Default Is the Brisbane River Fire Show good?

Have an invitation to visit friends up north for weekend or party with neighbours overlooking river/fireworks. The locals seem to think the fireworks is great ...but is it worth staying for?

Would love to hear from anyone who has seen it before.

It's awesome. Great night, especially if you have a good spot.

its great but way too busy which makes it more stressful than enjoyable.

I though The Roulettes were a band but I've been enlightened further down. I thought a dump n burn was what happened after eating a hot curry (so a non-Australian one!) but I may need to be enlightened again!

Imagine a few mosquitoes buzzed slowly over yer head in the shape of a triangle. Then a minute later they came back in a diamond shape. Then a minute later a couple of em came back flying beside each other. Then they repeat the above moves. Eventually they stop coming and you just hope the fireworks will be better!

it is a fantastic photo! I'm not sure about others though, but I find it really hard to appreciate photography anymore. I used to really love nothing more than to study stunning images. But in this day and age you can so easily fake or reproduce something with the help of a few photoshop tools that suddenly it's difficult to judge what is real photographic skill and what is some nerdy twat who thinks SLR is a type of car has done on his home PC
