Just got back from the new Hillary's foreshore (between Sorrento surf club and Hillarys Marina) and what a killa arvo for it! Set up a couple of tents about 3pm, cranked the bbq and drinks and just relaxed for a few hours! LOTS of different groups of people, super laid back atmosphere, no dickheads, no trouble and didnt see any police to hassle people about having a few drinks with their mates! Ideal arvo and even in super heavy traffic (well for that area), it took less than 15min to get home
Adam, i dont think you were alone either, lots of people seemed to be blocked in and people had litterally parked on the islands heading up Hepburn ave and OVER Marmion
Fireworks probably werent as good as at the river, but they seemed better than the ones we could see in the distance at Freo! Mother nature also gave us a pretty good back drop and spectacular light show to go with the fireworks!
Edit: One of the shittest Hottest 100's too
