  A nice bit of colouring on the card but it must have been spectacular back on the day itself?

• beachcomber australia said:

  Swordscookie I think it would have been very impressive. There was also a massive firework display on the Harbour. Read All About It - including an engraving of the scene at the Town Hall (half an hour later!!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1312681

  And a visiting American electrician was very impressed - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/114754930

  I like the ghosts the lighting is giving off.
