Aussie Fireworks Kings

On New Year's Eve, all eyes turn to Australia as Sydney's Harbour Bridge is the first in the world to light up in a spectacular display of pyrotechnical wizardry. We're known all over the globe for putting on one of the world's best displays year after year, but what many don't know is our reputation rests in the hands of a family who’s been making fireworks for almost a century. But now a new generation is taking over the reins at Howard and Sons and family traditions are about to be shaken up as they take their skills to the 'Olympics' of firework competitions, the International Festival des Feux in Canada. Will their new pyrotechnic musical see them leave Montreal with a halo of glory or will it all go up in flames?

Aussie Fireworks Kings is on National Geographic as part of the Starter Pack option.
