The Hourly Fire - Melbourne @ Australia



Melbourne @ Australia

Australia is a country located in the Southern Hemisphere (Oceania, continent between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean). It comprises the mainland of the Australian continent (the world's smallest), the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Australia is made up of six states and two major mainland territories. Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and also the second most populous city in Australia.

Oh, how I can ever miss this? An hourly event in the evening near Crown Casino. At night, giant spheres of fire issue at choreographed intervals from the tops of the towers. Nine feet in diameter, these magnificent flame clusters send out pyrotechnic illumination that transforms the Crown Casino promenade and the entire river edge into an evening experience of vibrancy and drama.
