Australia Day 2006

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

We celebrated Australia Day mainly on the South Perth foreshore, after having a bbq at friends house. They had become Aussie citizens this morning.

At one stage we walked from the Herrison Island side of the foreshore to the South Perth ferry side, so through the ‘trouble zone’! It was not pleasant…. Both sides were ok though, it was just the middle where we saw only drunken youths, bottles everywhere, police on horseback, SES volunteers…2006_01_26_180.jpg
Watched the fireworks, and then walked back to the car along Mill Point Rd. A lot of people, lots of shouting etc, but no major problems. We prefered King’s Park for the atmosphere last year, but the view of the fireworks was much better from South Perth.

Was a great day all up, very nice weather, a perfect 28 and sunny!!
