The race on Port Phillip Bay is held each year on Boxing Day. Vantage points for spectators are sure to bring out the cameras,especially at Port Melbourne,St Kilda pier,Brighton Pier,Sandringham and Hampton foreshore. Photographer Darrian Traynor captured the magic on the water in a series of stunning pictures.
On Boxing Day morning,the sun shed light on the sheer volume of rubbish left on lawns on the foreshore. About 5000 Christmas revellers created chaos in St Kilda spilling onto the streets the night before,as drunken antics forced the closure of roads in the area around the foreshore. Photographer Joe Armao captured the clean up effort after Wayne Hawkins shot scenes from the night before.
Online shopping may be here to stay but millions of Australians will still pour through the doors of department stores and shopping malls this Boxing Day,hoping to snatch bargains from the nation’s big retailers. Photographer Joe Armao was at the top of the queue in Melbourne.
