Looks like it could be a good one, shame to put a dampener [ pun intended ] to all the party goers, but , hey, we need rain. Happy new year everybody on the forum.

Thunderstorms and now rain - it's already here. At least it should be a bit cooler in a couple of hours

So did the firework's still go ahead in Melb ??,
It passed through Bendigo around 10ish, although I was watching it roll in from the west at 8ish, then it went east and swirled around and started to come back by midnight and after, it was a little south of us so I thought it might have been heading Melb way, our firework's were cancelled.
