All ‘fireworks’ should be drone displays for environmental and sustainability reasons – Martina Irschfeld
I thought it was fantastic. The timing was perfect. It was articulated perfect. All of the drones were in sync timing was great. It’s really clever. So much time effort and practice goes into these displays. And the thousands of kids that loved it. It was amazing to see. Great job guys. – Jessy Young
It would be nice if other councils considered drones….even encorporated them into a smaller fire work event to please the die-hards and to show how good they can be. – Carol Hilyer
I can see fireworks becoming a thing of the past. Drone displays and Lazer light shows are so much better. And safer in fire season, and much better for our health. – Christopher Leonard
