Skyfire 2011

I was debating whether I should go along to Skyfire last night. I wanted to have a go at fireworks photography, but the weather wasn't great, and it takes me a lot of convincing to get myself out the door and go out. But in the end I did go - met up with @CLBradley and his tribe and neighbours.

We got a spot just east of the gravel at the end of Anzac Parade. Toilets were an issue. One pair servicing a huge area had a queue with probably fifty people in it. So wandered further east and found a group of eight with no queue. Go figure (although later apparently the queue was massive, so wondering if I jumped a queue without realising it.. shrug..). People on the RiotACT were complaining about the queues for toilets too, and lack of food outlets that were advertised.

Anyways. Was there just in time for an FA-18 Hornet to buzz the crowd. Man those things are loud! Then had a beer and tucked into a picnic dinner. Dinner was hastily put away when it started to rain, but fortunately it didn't rain for too long.
