There was this record-breaking QBE Riverfire (one of the River Festival events) held at Brisbane River last Saturday, September 12th of 2009. Earlier that day, we departed at around eight thirty in the morning with my four other friends. Mory took us to the Translink train station to take train from Annerley to Southbank, as there'll be an expected massive traffic jam in the city centre.
Each of us purchased our tickets individually from the ticket-selling machine and waited there for about half an hour.
I would say, taking train is one of the fastest and easiest ways to travel around in Brisbane. Within just 10 - 15 minutes, we already got ourselves to Southbank Parklands.
There were still many hours left before the fireworks began. After some discussions, everyone agreed to take a ride on CityCat (a ferry service in Brisbane).
We spent our time admiring the beautiful scenery of Brisbane River and its surroundings.
The weather was perfectly fine for outdoor activities, sunbathing was one of them.
Heading to this building in front of us.

I was trying to hold myself onto this giant metal ball. It was hard but not too hard I think, at least you can still see me smiling :P
Crazy jumping shot #1.

On Victoria Bridge, were heading back to the showground.
We got here before 5 pm just to "reserve" ourselves a good spot.
Akira was somewhere in the park when we took this photo.
More and more people getting in...
A flying camera was installed to broadcast the event live on the local television channel.
The sky getting darker and darker. Are you ready to see some remarkable firework photos? Stay tuned for my upcoming post if you're interested! And while waiting for me to update my blog, perhaps you would like to have a look at the previous year's fireworks?
