I think there is some paperwork required for fireworks, Driver License and some sort of bogus permit. best phone first.

The web site above has some info on it.

As for porn, you can always do a search under google for that!!!

CONSUMER FIREWORKS ARE NOW BANNED IN THE ACT
(EXCEPT FOR THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY)

NEXT CANBERRA SALE PERIOD IS 6 June 2005 to 13 June 2005

Does this mean you can only buy them in the week before Queen's Birthday?

rag top · 01-01-2005, 09:12 PM

I thought you could get them with a NSW work cover permit?

Might be worthwhile trying the dude with the mobile number.

Psycho Chicken · 01-01-2005, 09:20 PM

I think I'll have to in a few days.

lv619 · 01-01-2005, 09:29 PM

For non-ACT residents, atleast one place will meet you over the border in NSW if you want to purchase $200 or more worth of fireworks.

Paris Hilton · 01-01-2005, 11:23 PM

Well I live here and...you can't buy fireworks without a permit. Resident or not.

Wanna bet?

Psycho Chicken · 02-01-2005, 12:53 AM

Selekta, I'll go out on a limb and say your age has to do with that.

So it's all hush hush under the counter going ons? I guess that's gonna make it hard for a clueless mexican, but it'll be better than all the firecrackers Chinatown has to offer.
