A: Yes, please click on the FIREWORKS menu item. We have all the information available on our website, and are continually updating it. Within 3 weeks of Territory Day, the website should be fairly accurate for this year's range, however some items can change at the last moment due to errors from the importers. We may also sell out of stock for pre-orders. If this happens we will be sourcing more stock which we will put on the website if we can get it confirmed in time, or will have it in-store on the day.
Q: Why haven't you replied to my e-mail?
A: If your question is asking us to do something illegal, we normally will not respond. If you are emailing in the weeks before Territory Day, please be patient as we get a lot of enquiries and strive to fulfil everyones needs as quickly as possible.
Q: What is Territory Day?
A: Territory Day is a celebration of the Northern Territory's self-government.
Until 1978, the NT was governed from other states. Initial as part of South Australia, later by the federal government in Canberra. In 1974 Gough Whitlam announced that the Northern Territory would have self-government, and on the 1st July 1978 it became a reality. Celebrating with fireworks is a small part of what makes the NT awesome!
