Some Deniliquin residents were startled after the Fireworks show at the Mayor’s Christmas Party provided a bigger bang than expected with the sound of the fireworks travelling through the town and surrounding areas so loudly it felt to some like they were standing next to the fireworks launcher itself.

The show was spectacular with the corner of Henry and Hardinge Street and other open areas providing a great vantage point for those who were doing some late night grocery shopping or preferred to skip the party and await the show, it will be interesting to see what happens next year in terms of activities at the party and what the fireworks show brings.
