Melbourne loves to turn it on every Australia Day, hosting a stunning fireworks display along the harbour.
This year, the fireworks will be released from various barges on Docklands Harbour at 9pm.
There are plenty of awesome spots to catch a glimpse of the beautiful show. Most councils will strongly recommend that you leave your car at home and take advantage of public transport.
We’ve found five of the best free vantage points to watch the fireworks with your family.
