best fireworks: fremantle or perth?

January 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Is it the City of Perth’s Australia Day Firework Spectacular or Cicerello’s Fremantle family friendly Australia Day fireworks? Crackers are a serious business. Note the fracas it created last year when (then) Perth Mayor Peter Nattrass said

Comparing Fremantle’s proposed Australia Day cracker show to Lotterywest Skyworks is like comparing the City of Fremantle to the City of Perth – it’s second rate (2007)

I think there is no competition at all. Without a doubt the best crackers in town occur at the Portuguese Club down the road. They had a major shindig two nights ago

When the first house-quaking cracker went off and we were all thrown onto the lounge room floor, I picked myself up and, being somewhat of an expert on all manner of things celestial, divine, and otherwise,  said to the Squib family, ‘Don’t worry, that’s just the festival of the patron saint of Paul do Mar - Sainta Mar.’

    Interesting dilemma
    Do I :
    Number 1 – stand on the western side of my balcony to take in the Freo Crackers?
    Number 2 – stand on the northern side of the balcony to take in the Perth Spectacular?
    or
    Number 3 – watch one of em and video tape the other for later viewing?.

    Me thinks number 3 as there is usually sweet FA on the Ozzie TV on the best of days.

    I think your primary concern on that day should be how to pamper your wonderful wife on her birthday MrSquib

    *just saying*
