Same in Japan during summer. Stop at the 7-11, grab a couple of 6 packs and the biggest bag of rockets etc you could carry and then try and find enough open space to let them off

Wonder when we'll ban bicycles for kids? Seems they hurt themselves when they fall off

Primary producers could buy explosives by signing the register, declaring they were a bona fide primary producer and the explosives were necessary to the conduct of their affairs.

I knew a guy who got a Miner's Right purely to buy explosives for fishing, and in the Bribie Passage at that! It was quite remote and deserted then, unlike today.

Still can...just need the appropriate licence...go buy some ANFO and blast some tree stumps and rabbit warrens..

Fireworks - illegal??

Get out of here.


They can't be illegal as a guy comes around to work & sells them out of his car about 3-4 weeks before the June long weekend. Every year he comes around without fail.

My brother checked a few places in a suburb just west of the CBD (referred to) but none were forth coming. Mustn't have looked the part.
