CONSUMER FIREWORKS ARE NOW BANNED IN THE ACT
(EXCEPT FOR THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY)

NEXT CANBERRA SALE PERIOD IS 6 June 2005 to 13 June 2005
Does this mean you can only buy them in the week before Queen's Birthday?

I thought you could get them with a NSW work cover permit?

Might be worthwhile trying the dude with the mobile number.

For non-ACT residents, atleast one place will meet you over the border in NSW if you want to purchase $200 or more worth of fireworks.

Selekta, I'll go out on a limb and say your age has to do with that.

So it's all hush hush under the counter going ons? I guess that's gonna make it hard for a clueless mexican, but it'll be better than all the firecrackers Chinatown has to offer.
