There we go.. went over the road for 5 minutes. Snapped a photo of some fire. Now I can say I attended the Firelight Festival 2023.

For another hour. Trams are free to Docklands! Not sure about the 86 running but the Collins St ones should be I'd think.

Nice shot.

That reminded me to check out the fire incident map of Darwin for tonight because it’s Territory Day. It’s EVERYWHERE

What's the significance of fires on Territory Day? I'm not familiar at all with what goes on up in the NT

Edit: ah, fireworks. Googled it.

You seem like you travel a bit. Darwin is worth the trip for this night. Really fun chaos.
