are you happy with the sky show back now at Clipsal instead of Australia day

Happy it's back - NOT at Clipsal.

Bonython Park or bust...

But beggars can't be choosers I guess..

I agree, it's too bloody hard trying to throw my kids and missus over them high fences.

There was at least one year it wasn't on Australia Day; problems with sponsors I believe.

Totally agree. If it was at Bonython Park i would go, because it's at clipsal, i wont.

Do we really need it...?

I voted no....

Free Public Transport from 3pm for sky show on saturday

Woopie "frikin" Do!!!!!

Thats a NO btw......

will there be any family areas set up outside the Clipsal grounds, would love to take my 14 month old daughter and set up for a picnic but don't want to have to pay for a clipsal ticket when she might scream after the first minute.

They are offering free entry to the Clipsal Site after 6.30pm

Think I saw somewhere that there is a limit of 150K people within the track area....would have been a stack more people than that at the last one in Bonython Pk...so will be interesting where everyone goes to watch.

I will be heading along and taking the kids. I was thinking about going in to the parklands along greenhill road. Will they be open?

Here is the info. It also gives you a family area. http://www.clipsal500.com.au/xstd_files/skyshow_map.pdf

is it worth heading to a carpark with a city view for the skyshow?

That's a pretty good idea. Any car parks in particular come to mind?

I agree. Hopefully having it at Clipsal is a one off due and it's back at Bonython Park on Australia Day next year.

Yep 1997 (my first Skyshow) - wasn't going to happen then Bunnings stepped in at the last minute and it was held in mid-February. Pretty much every year after that you heard rumours that it wasn't going ahead due to no sponsors. I guess they used that line one too many times in 2007.

o'halloran hill on south rd - when travelling south just off to the left before the VIC hotel

perhaps blackwood??????

marion golf course i think has a good view from what ive heard

We've viewed it from various locations over the years.

A couple I remember:
Windy point - O'Halloran Hill lookout (if that's what it's called) - Top of Flinders Uni

This year we are going into town - mayhem and all

They stopped having it on Australia Day due to the Australia Day cricket and moved it to the weekend closest to Australia Day. I'd rather have it at Bonython.
