There’s nothing more ‘Territorian’ than celebrating self-governance with a few ‘bangers’ as Troy Charters described to Steve Mills while at Mindil Beach Sunset Markets.

‘Bangers’ to most Australians are called fireworks, but as the Owner and Chief Pyrotechnician at TNT Fireworks described to Millsy, ‘it is next level’.

Tap PLAY to hear why fireworks are important to the Northern Territory.

Mr Charters told Millsy what the meaning behind Territory Day is all about.

“Territory day is not about fireworks,” he said.

“It’s about saying ‘see you later, Canberra,’

“We are our own territory, and we are self-governed.”

Millsy is on air daily from 12pm to 3pm, capturing the qualities of each town and the people that make them tick, with his journey detailed in his Long Way to the Top tour blog, which we’ll update after each broadcast.
