Territory Day- July 1st

Hmmm, supposed to be celebrating the advent of the Northern Territory, but I get the feeling it is more an excuse for shops to make some more money. This is the only day you are allowed to buy and let off fireworks in the NT. We just went and sat for an hour at the local park and watched people let off the fireworks. We didn’t have too many just miss us. The official finishing time is 10pm, but you still heard the odd one till 1 or 2 am in the morning and the odd one is let off at night since then.
