West Australians are getting ready to celebrate one of the State's favourite holidays, and with January 26 falling on a Thursday this year, it's a good chance for many to take an extra day off on Friday to enjoy a four-day weekend and a mini-break in the State. The Australia Day public holiday presents the perfect time to experience Australian culture as well as take advantage of the many free activities happening around WA.
Around the city, popular celebration locations include vantage points around Perth City and the Swan River for spectacular views of the evening City of Perth Australia Day Skyworks, Western Australia's biggest annual community event, and Cottesloe Beach, where the Haviaianas Australia Day Thong Challenge will take place to raise money for Australian junior lifesaving group Nippers.
Across the State, fireworks will also add a wow-factor to celebrations in Bunbury and Fremantle; Williams, Busselton, and Kalgoorlie will host Australia day breakfast celebrations; the Wind on Water Festival takes place in Geraldton; Rockingham will hold the Fly the Flag Festival, and ceremonies and festivities will take place in Mandurah, Corrigin and towns across WA.
For those lucky enough to also have the Friday off and a four day weekend, it's the perfect chance to getaway for a few days. Whether it's wineries, caves, the coast, camping, fishing, exploring historic towns, taking a WA great drive or soaking up the nostalgia of the outback, the long weekend presents a great time to explore and unwind.
