the only problem is if your on the city foreshore the zoom doesnt quite reach to where the red bull race is going on.

However if we go to south perth foreshore it would be better

Thats where I took these , a street away from where I am staying , I only have a 70 to 200 so I have to get close.

Ill be back there on and off today and then all day Saturday.

Anyone know where they have any fire appliances and stuff , thought there would be a couple near the airstrip.

Thanks Matt

You could swim out to a pontoon and hide behind the cones,lol ,

if you go south perth side , you get trampled on, people stand in front of you, 1st year where i was on Rowing ramp, there were a few agressive fights of people showing up later and standing in your early view, I just yell move or sit down, stuff them.. jj
