Lotterywest Skyworks
More than 300,000 people gather on the banks of the Swan River every year on 26 January to celebrate Australia Day, as it is transformed into a natural amphitheatre for the staging of a spectacular Air and Water Show.  As night falls a dazzling display of light and sound is presented, featuring a breathtaking fireworks display and a simulcast soundtrack of Australian musical favourites.
This fireworks display is the second biggest Fireworks display in Australia, the first being New Years Eve in Sydney.
It is part of Perth culture to attend this magnificent display, with most people crowding the foreshores early in the morning and making a full day event of it.  (It is quite spectacular to see some people bringing their lounge suites or hired Jacuzzis to the foreshore to enjoy the atmosphere)

The Red Bull Air Race is an exciting competition in which the world’s most talented pilots are up against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill.

The competition features a dynamic new discipline of flying, called ‘air racing’ where the objective is to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the sky in the fastest possible time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed 20m high pylons, known as ‘air gates’.

The Air Race is not just about speed but also precision. The slightest mistake can result in penalty points. Flying low to the ground at speeds that can reach over 400kph, while negotiating the air gates, requires immense skill that only a certain number of pilots in the world possess. That is why the pilots are hand selected based upon their expertise and experience. These pilots are at the top of their game. They have to be – the Air Race exerts huge demands on their flying abilities and they have to withstand forces of up to 10G. There is no room for error.

What makes the ‘Air Race’ so exciting and interesting for spectators is the proximity of the contest to the crowds. Low level flying on a relatively compact course means that people can really experience all the action close-up


The idea of the Air Race was conceived by Red Bull who then approached renowned Hungarian pilot Peter Beseynei to help them refine the concept. The very first Red Bull Air Race took place at AirPower in Zeltweg, Austria in 2003 and was hailed a great success. It was clear that there was a huge potential for the competition. Subsequent Air Races were then held in Hungary, England and the USA and since then it has evolved into its current format, the Red Bull Air Race World Series. The first World Series kicked off in 2005, taking place in 7 venues across the world with 10 internationally acclaimed pilots competing.

‘Air races’ have their roots in the US but unlike those contests where the objective was purely about speed, the Red Bull Air Race brings another dimension into the challenge – skill. They are using some of the lightest, agile and responsive planes that exist, but ultimately it’s the pilot’s stamina and skill that determines who will be crowned the next Red Bull Air Race World Series champion

Yanchep National Park
Discover the beautiful freshwater lake, one of Western Australia's largest koala colonies, magnificent limestone caves, a stunning array of wildflowers and the old world charm of Tudor-style buildings.
Just 50 kilometres from Perth's central business district is a bushland with an abundance of native plants and animals, waiting to be explored. The newly revamped Yanchep National Park offers visitors an array of recreational tourism and conservation experiences, right on the city's doorstep. The 2842 hectare park is one of the state's oldest national parks and is steeped in Aboriginal and European cultural heritage.

The park is home to many different water birds and bush birds.

The caves of Yanchep National Park range from narrow tunnels and vertical shafts to large caverns containing streams and pools. More than 400 caves have been recorded in the park and several are open for a variety of activities to tourists. They are significant because of the relatively young age of the limestone in which they have been formed, the quality of their decoration and their significant cultural and fossil remains. Caves are open to the public and offer a glimpse into a mysterious underground wonderland.
