I am planning on doing a roadtrip next month to buy some (i.e. a ute tray full of) fireworks in ACT.

Has anyone else done this before?

Is it true that fireworks cannot be legally purchased in Qld?

It's true, but theres a mob down at kirrer on the gold coast who supplies the majoirty of people in the ACT, and often supply to the public up here. Now if you werent such a fagot, i'd tell you who they were and where to find them. HA HA HA!

why be such a hater...

I don't think you can just buy a truckload of them that easily.

ACT there are only certain days of the year you are allowed to set them off.
I still have a couple left.
I -think- my sister was saying something about you have to sign for them or something? I may not have been paying 110% attention at the time =]

Nothing beats the Dragonball - that 8 shooter was freakin' awesome; if you can find that get a tonne of them, setting a few of those off together would be sweet as.
I still have one more 8-shooter left that suppsedly shoots "fireballs" and one more ground sparkling shower one.

I lost my sparkler-esque one and my last little tom-thumb, Possibly under the backseat of the car. Great place for them to go off =]

infi: south tweed near tweed city in the industrial complex is what I think casa is on about. We have bought them from there before.

yeah a friend gave me one of the 8 shooters and after i lit it, it tipped onto a 45 degree angle so it shot fireworks into my neighbour's washing :/

fpot: SHHHH im trying to lead him astray!!

but yeah, i have no idea, i havent been down there since schoolies, so about 6 years ago

i will get my fireworks one way or another. damn you!

My understanding is that as of a few years ago you now need a license to purchase fireworks even in the ACT. Basically that means that all fireworks sales you typically hear of are unter-the-counter.

i can get you some, well pretty much everything.


last year we set off a whole heap of them, 30 minutes later, 5 cop cars and 3 paddy wagons rocked up :O

Quick theres gunfire from the arabs place! Call the cops!
*In comes counter-terrorism squad*

See suhaib! People the governments onto you!

did you use any flashbangs?

i think you may need an ACT drivers license, and you have to sign something to say you won't take them out of the state.

i can be bought.

i am not willing to lose my anal virginity (or takes yours).

i use my fake asio clearance to purchase them

I think it may be a little harder than just rocking down to ACT, buying them and bringing them back.

is that just speculation? how well do you think?

I have flashbacks of the simpsons episode where Homer tries to buy them from the convenience store.

My Step Dad used to be an experienced licensed/recognised pyrotechnician yada yada
1 inverted bad batch of supplies ended that

All I have to say is
Careful kiddies, fireworks = explosives = BIG f***ING BANG when it goes wrong

ACT isn't what it used to be. Apparently they've tightened up regulations in line with the new terrorism laws. So even if you could buy them, you'd be absolutely screwed if you were caught with them.
