Campbells Cove, Vivid Sydney, Fire Water

Fire Water during the Vivid Sydney festival was a theatrical spectacle that combined flames and the harbour. The show at Campbells Cove at The Rocks was a recreation of the fire that sank the convict ship The Three Bees in 1814 and sent its cannon balls blazing across the harbour. The performance included an Aboriginal smoking ceremony and live music performed by Coda.

    Wow! You are absolutely lucky to witness that one live! The harbor is spectacular place - and with all that fire and light effects - looks out of this world good.

    Good shots. I was over by the Opera House and just saw tiny flames in the distance.
