Pyrotechnics. What's not to love?




How the ignition of a tube of powder can transform the velvety blackness of a night sky into a kaleidoscope of iridescent colours, chasing across the heavens like a shower of shooting stars is beyond my pyrotechnical knowledge, but no matter. My family and I love fireworks.  So it was with our usual enthusiasm that we wrapped up well and made our way to the Bitts Park Fire Show. And we weren’t disappointed.  The display, which draws up to 40 000 city residents and visitors, was outstanding, with a huge variety of shimmering cascades, sparkling chrysanthemums and twinkling, swarming beehives.
