While Donny, Stuie and others were psyching themsilves up for City to Surt the next day I got talked into going with the family to foreshore for a 'Biggest bonfire' for some churchy charity
Anyway after the bag search (whats a bonfire without drugs and alcohol) we fought our way thru the kero fumes to get a good possie to watch the inferno with about 15000 (according to Channel 3)
Luckily with my hang gliding weather reading skills I got side wind to prevailing wind - good call
After music and food they livened things up with a match to the base of the 10 metre high kero soaked softwood structure
The jumping castle and everything else down wind was quickly evacuated
The NCC who helped organise the event decided a garden watering truck would work better than the dozen fire extinguisher weilding volunteers (where was Adam) and the water tanker was parked beside the fire and they dribbled water at the base of the inferno
with the obvious result
Channel 3 news tonight (they were a sponsor) reported that it was a great success with no major injuries!!!!!!
How did you go in Sydney Stuie???
