Hahaha! Goerge, im too old to be out at that time of night!!

Im about 2kms from there and it felt the bang, was pretty big explosion, and at 3:30 am it certainly gets your attension!!

Cheeky buggers should be strung up by the balls, and fireworks shoved up their ar5e..

Certainly sounds a bit bigger than the match thunders or 8 shooters we used to stuff in bags of flour or in old letterboxes on footy ovals, they let out a bang and not much else (most of the time..lol)

Adding steel and concrete pipe to it is certainly stupid
