Riverfire 2012

Brisbane holds an annual fireworks extravaganza called Riverfire, which was on this weekend. The events start with a display by the Australian Defence Eurocopter Tiger, and the flight team had far too much fun 'strafing' the crowd with the front-mounted cannon



Then the Blackhawks did a flypast - coincidentally a friend of mine's brother served on this exact same vehicle for a few years  



It wasn't just helicopters - there was a Superhornet flypast too
The big event was a 30 minute firework display that night, but with half a million people due that night the crowds were getting overwhelming
This will probably be the last Riverfire where we live within sight of the city so we decided we'd skip the rush at the end and watch it from the balcony at home. It looked great but photos were a little tricky...fun to try though!
