This is a festival in Qld (Brisbane) that is held each year to celebrate the start of spring, it goes for 10 days and the start of it all culminates in 2 F111's roaring past at 700km/hr with afterburners going that creates a fire tail about 100m long it is indeed a spectacular sight. The pre fireworks entertainment is an aerial display by the Roulettes and a couple of Army choppers doing some high speed turns and dives.

The Fireworks goes for around 30mins which burns off about 3 tonnes or so of them. They are let off from Barges on the Brisbane River and from Building tops of the CBD as well as the Storey Bridge.
