My favorite time of the year in my favorite Australian Territory, the Northern Territory.
Where fun nazis are kept under control and sh1t goes off for at least one day of the year.
Territorians have the right to be "drunken idiots" and "that's the end of it", the director of Territory Day celebrations says in a spirited defence of firecracker night.
The NT is the only place in Australia where it's still legal to let off fireworks for one night a year.
On July 1 last year there were 208 grass fires, 21 people suffered injuries and six people were hospitalised.
But Territory Day Fireworks director Mark Killip remains defiant.
"The rest of the country is run by people who are just retarded," he said ahead of the celebrations on Friday.
"Here we've got more sense from the government, we've got a lot better culture, and people are happy to take personal responsibility, whereas in the other states, people aren't.
