fireballs outside the crown casino





















i have been to the crown casino complex about five times but have yet to step inside the gaming rooms. you do not have to gamble when you visit the casino entertainment complex. once we went there for a meal and a couple of times we went for the free entertainment. twice we went there in the evening to watch the fireball display by the bank of the yarra river.

fireballs are released from the top of the towers. there are eight towers, 10 metres high and 50 metres apart along the promenade outside crown. the fireballs are of varying sizes. they usually start as small ones, becoming progressively bigger as the night gets later.

the hourly display begins at different times, depending on the season. in winter, it starts earlier, at 6.00 p.m. and in summer, later, at 9.00 p.m. it is on seven days a week.
