Perth celebrates at Skyworks on Swan River foreshoreGallery: Australia Day on the Swan River foreshore
Crowds enjoying the Australia Day celebrations in Perth on Tuesday have been praised by emergency services for their good behaviour, with no major incidents or injuries reported by police and St John Ambulance.  
At 8pm, as an estimated 300,000 people enjoyed the fireworks show over the Swan River, a police spokeswoman said crowds had been "great" during the day.
"At the moment [the] crowd has been great with only a couple of arrests for disorderly across the metropolitan area," she said.  
Earlier in the day, police kept a watchful eye over a peaceful protest staged by hundreds of people supporting Aboriginal people who opposed the date Australia Day is celebrated. 
St John Ambulance operations manager Jae Smith told Radio 6PR on Tuesday night that ambulance officers enjoyed a quiet day at stations across Perth. 
"???We have had a wonderful sky show this year, we actually got to watch the fireworks... we've been really quiet down here on the ground," she said. 
"We had our fair share of patients during the day but the numbers have been really low in that regard.
"It's been the usual things of dehydrations... a few bee stings around, and that really summed up the day for us.
Happy Australia Day to all of our followers, supporters and everyone else. #KensoCops#skyworks2016#australiadaypic.twitter.com/MPUF7sbig3

"It was a really hot day down here earlier, thankfully the sea breeze came in late afternoon and looked after us well."
Ms Smith, who was based at Langley Park, said she was not aware of any fights requiring medical attention along the Swan River foreshore but added the evening was not over yet.
