We're Only Here for a Short Time, Sing as Much as You Can

What a wonderful evening in South Perth yesterday. Ian Moss, of Cold Chisel fame, entertained several thousand people at the City of South Perth free concert on the foreshore. With one of Perth's finest sunsets over his shoulder, Mossy kept families young and old entertained for twice as long as was planned. As he ended on the classic Chisel number, Back in Bow River, spectacular fireworks sprung into the sky over the Swan River.

The quote above, "We're Only Here for a Short Time, Sing as Much as You Can" was the opening statement and set the tone for the evening. That's not a bad philosophy for life either I think. Surrounded as we are by big issues of Global Warming, Council amalgamations, the Debt crisis, urban density and environmental issues and numerous weighty matters, a taste of music helps us keep our balance.

Arranged by the City's very organised events team and paid for by sponsors including Healthways, Como IGA, Waterford Plaza, Karalee Tavern, Cygnet Theatre and others, the event provided a friendly occasion to just enjoy being alive in South Perth.

For the next fifteen days South Perth Fiesta will showcase the best of the City. You can click here for a program of events. Highlights will include the Esther Foundation Fun Run and South Perth Carnivale on Sunday 29th March. I am going to enjoy the run, so please come and join us. See you there!
