Best pictures from Perth bonfire night and fireworks display

by · The Courier

Perth’s ever-popular bonfire and fireworks display lit up the night sky – potentially for the last time – on Tuesday.

Huge crowds poured onto the South Inch as the annual free event went off with a bang.

It featured a spectacular display of fireworks and a towering bonfire, built by volunteers with materials donated by local companies.

The guy on top was created by pupils at Fairview School.

Perth Round Table organises the bonfire night celebrations. Members raise funds on the night and throughout the year.

But the group’s membership has shrunk to just four people. And they say they desperately need to recruit new members if there’s going to be an event next year.

Here are some of the best photos from the evening.
