Then there was the "$20 Cracker Bag"

This was a $20 assortment of fireworks (Crackers in the Oz vernacular) that always contained at least 1-2 hours of fun.

My favourites were the "Golden Showers" and the "Peacock Fountain". Flower Pots were pretty too, as were the various volcanoes.

Sadly, firecrackers have been outlawed in NSW for a looooong time now. Hence our excitement when we went to Texas in '02 and bought over US$300 of crackers and let them off at a private ranch just out of the city limits. Good times.
