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

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

Evidently there was a real drama at the time - the searchlights were used to locate a Man Overboard. Read All About It and the rest of the occasion same page - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15018778
