Australia Day



This was view from my garden at 9:45pm this evening.



Fireworks are held nearby each year, to celebrate Australia Day.



They are so close, they look like our own private display.



The spectacle lasts about 10 minutes.



We are so lucky! I can't think of a more perfect end to the day.

  7. No wonder they had to stop the tennis, that is a pretty decent firework display. Great view from home, no crowds or taking children to public toilets, easy!! Love Posie

  9. I love fireworks - there is something about them that is so magical - we took the kids to skyworks here in Perth this year and had a wonderful afternoon/night.
