Oh no Luke! That is such a shame.
I have been to some lovely Diwali celebrations but not in a long time. I am sure the Indian community here is doing something this year but I'm not sure. I'll have to keep a look out next year.
I know our big super market chain was having Indian food tasting, specials, etc. |

They always have a big celebration here for this - a big procession and parties all over. Their main temple is an old victorian church with the most amazing architecture. I'll need to get a photo of it and let you's see. |

Is that why there's been non-stop fireworks since about 5pm today? They're still going off right now. |
