Want to catch the Skyworks fireworks but don’t want to be part of the crowds in Perth on Australia Day?
While being in the city and up close to the Skyworks action is the best experience, there is a place not far from the city that provides a truly unique and amazing experience.
Lake Monger, Wembley is a perfect place to take in the Perth Australia Day fireworks from not so far away.
Though obviously views from this location will be weather dependent.
There are 2 vantage points at Lake Monger
