Brisbane - 8pm March 29, 2008
Brisbane is going off big time! Yes, switching off for Earth Hour 2008. Conrad International Treasury Casino, Story Bridge, City Hall, Victoria Bridge, William Jolly Bridge, Brisbane Square, and many State Government buildings have taken the plunge into darkness between 8 and 9 pm. These Brisbane icons are taking the lead – and Brisbane is inspired to fight climate change – the difference is amazing!
BBQ by candlelight is the order of the day. Sizzling snags in the twilight mean Brisbanites are out in droves to celebrate tonight. They’re playing games, catching up with the neighbours or just relaxing and making their contribution to the fight against global warming.
At The Suncorp Super Screen An Inconvenient Truth is playing – a chance to learn and entertain at the same time.
And it’s drinks and dinner by candle light tonight for hotels, restaurants and pubs all over Brisbane who are heading the Earth Hour call.
