i am aussie 24/7 and not afraid to show it.however being in wa on australia day and being 41 deg at 6pm and having a fire ban,how can they allow fireworks(i love them to bits and so do the kids),when i was watching them,and there embers fly into trees.i think the fire fighters would probably like to celabrate australia day too!!

well the barges went up in flames so theres another reason for ya.

41 degrees. 110 different fires around perth aparently. skyshow "was going to be called off" for safety reason.

But imagine if fesa had shut it down? Remember the riots of previous years when innocent people had bottles broken over there heads and were bashed? Imagine that but worse. People would have gone nuts. It would have been chaos.

People could see the fires on the darling scarp going up the hill from Kings Park. Imagine how hard the firies would have been working to stop that. Bloody legends. There were fires started by the lightning we had so either way you cant win. Stop our fireworks and mother natures still continue.

On the temp yesterday 34 degrees at 10:45pm at my house. And Lightning and spots of rain. Gotta love Australia
