We got a bit of a surprise when we went down to Bathers Beach last night to watch the fireworks… People, so many people. We walked past the Esplanade along the Mews road down by the harbour and on to the beach at the boardwalk ramp. Everywhere was busy despite the heat (35° at 8pm) and there was a great atmosphere as folks set up camp with blankets and Eskys. Last year I remember wishing I brought a blanket it was that cold.

The firework barge looked a lot closer than 300 metres away and the clouds from the approaching storm made for a really nice sunset before the real show began. City of Fremantle and Cockburn nice work looking forward to next year.

Sun set at the barge.

The largest Australia day fireworks display over the Indian Ocean ever.

“Fremantle’s Australia Day celebration is definitely a major highlight and attracts big crowds both during the day and of course for the fireworks display, which will this year be bigger and better than ever.” Brad Pettitt. 

You said it Brad.
