This week is the "River Festival in Brisbane annual festival which, as its name suggests, revolves around the rivers and especially the Brisbane River. And the highlight of this festival is the fireworks "Riverfire. We heard many talk about us in recent weeks and the general opinion is THE fireworks of the year in Brisbane, better than the New Year and National Day. No way to miss it! So the way to Southbank on Saturday night. We arrived around 18h for the fireworks set to 19h, the bus was full and up a steady stream of people heading towards Southbank. We still managed to find places near the river but no seating. Some came equipped with folding chairs but they had to spend the afternoon waiting to judge from the coolers at their feet. The hour is approaching and the crowd s'éppaissit the edge of the river are full of people. The fireworks display is opened by a military plane in the air that goes into skimming over the river flares flames from its engines (see video).
The crowd screams its way, quite rare among Australians to be noticed! And go for 30 minutes inimterrompue explosions of color. The lights are from 6 barges positioned all along the river (we saw 4 of our point of view), 9 roofs of buildings in downtown which is in the background and three bridges over the River. While the music. A total of 3 000 kg of powder are needed! It took an eyeful half an hour, I let you make the final video (open a new crossing of the plane). It was pretty impressive. To give us our emotions then we did a restaurant ti;)
