The Winter Fireworks at Docklands happen every Friday night between 4 July and 29 August. Join the Preston Photographic Club for a great night out of fireworks photography and dinner on Friday, 4th of July at 6:30pm.
This year, we will meet at the Alma Doepel Restoration sign towards the end of North Wharf. Preston Photographic Club Deborah Keir says she has taken photos from the North Wharf before, and you get some great views looking back towards New Quay, and there are fewer people.
Following that, we’ll have dinner at Groove Train Victoria Harbour overlooking the Yarra at 833 Collins Street, Docklands, at 7:40pm.
Getting There
Public Transport: The closest public transport is the tram 48 which goes along Collins Street into Docklands past the ANZ building. Get off at the last stop and then walk from there.
Driving: There is some parking on North Wharf itself (at the end of Collins Street), but as there is an AFL game at Etihad Stadium (Hawks vs Kangaroos) you will need to be there early. There are other parking options around Docklands but with a game on at ES traffic may be bad so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time.
Walking: When I visited the site there was work being done along the Victoria Harbour side of North Wharf, so to get to the end you may need to walk through the car park on North Wharf Rd and then cut back to the harbour after building 3 (the boat school).
