Some photos which are not fireworks from Riverfire on the weekend.
We had it all planned out. You know what they say about the best laid plans though. We ended up with Georgie, Mum and I at Cpt Burke Park on one side of the river for the fireworks and Georgie’s parents and boyfriend on the other side of the river as they missed the last ferry across the river. They also had the bubbly that we had been looking forward to, as well as the sushi and quiches that we made that noon. We ended up meeting back at Georgie’s house where we had a supper of the goodies that we didn’t get to eat at Riverfire and we got to drink the bubbly.
The crowd and their camp chairs
The light trails are from some Army helicopters that did a flyover.
The Bridge awaits
The City
Channel 7 well and truely had their mark on the event this year, these signs were every 10m or so along the riverfront.

One of the things I was able to photograph whilst in Melbourne was the Album launch for Owls of the Swamp aka Pete and what a night it was. From the very nice bottle of Aspall Draught Suffolk Cider to the various Melbournians and sole Canberran I met and of course the very fine music from Owls of the Swamp with backing band, Young Werther and Svavar Knuter. It was such a delightful night. I can’t urge you enough to check out Owls of the Swamp.
Of course the photos 
A little story of a party divided by a river, food and cheer to come but until them some photos. I have so many photos from the last couple of weeks to post (heaps from Melbourne, the farm etc etc)
We weren’t just looking at the fireworks this year. Mum, Georgie and I were in the fireworks. I needed the whole 12mm to take photos of the fireworks 
You can see mum in this photo, she is on the right edge of the photo, about 1″ from the bottom, wearing a red shirt.
The dump and burn.
Me, my camera and my life the fireworks.
