Territory day

[jason.ruff]

Its Territory day up here today, celebrating self government since 1978. Fire crackers going off every where. The Firey's and ambo's will be busy tonight. Will try and post some video.

Sounds unreal. We used to have fun in NSW once too.

Don't worry there are plenty of wowsers up here trying to get it banned. It upsets their dogs or its to noisy. Check out the NT news letters to the editor for the next few weeks, they will be complaining like anything. It is only meant to be for one day but crackers will be going off at all hours for the next few weeks, not great but certainly no reason to ban them. Got to wonder if these people were ever young. If they offered us a public holiday instead, it might be worth thinking about. The complainers are generally blowins from somewhere else ,if they don't like it they can always leave. bye bye.

I miss one heck of a lot of things about my many years in the NT. Territory Day was always a 'blast' in more ways than one. Most memorable one was at Mindl Beach about ten years ago when the 'official' fireworks set fire to one of the palm trees on the edge of the beach - of course the next couple started smouldering real quick. They were put out with 'beer spray' before the firies arrived.

It is one of those places you either love or hate.
