BRISBANE 'RIVERFIRE'

Paula & I to a charity dinner at Restaurant II in the city. It's always held on the night of the Riverfire Festival - enormous fireworks along the river and off the tops of buildings.


Highlight is a flypast by one of the aging fleet of F-111 fighters.
It's just like being in Baghdad!


One of the guests at the dinner was Brenton Rickard. He swam at the Beijing Olympics and won a Silver Medal in the 200 m. Breaststroke. Here he is being stalked by Paula.


Of course we had the obligatory 1.00 am. wait for a taxi.
