Hi Keg,
Didn't see last nights coverage, but the previous year's coverage (or it might have been river fire in Brisbane - senile decay has set in and I can't remember) had a drone in the middle of the fireworks - they made specific comment about it.
Pics looked pretty good, though not sure how the operator controlled it - I assume it had an autopilot with a uploaded flight plan (I have the gear for my models to do the same and they cost about 250 bucks, so a professional drone would have much better gear than I do).
Would have made for even better footage if it got shot down
