FANS of lasers and water features will be enraptured by this year’s Skyworks.

The extravaganza will include a “laser and water spectacular”, which for the first time will be viewable from both Langley Park and South Perth.

Fountains will spray jets of water into the air providing a glittering backdrop for laser beams and effects. The 30-minute Australia Day show will feature 35,000 fireworks and require a week to set up.

The fate of the show will be in the hands of eight men with laptops, triggering the explosions from sites along the foreshore. A crew from Foti Fireworks have been preparing for three months for the display.

Perth mayor Lisa Scaffidi says she is looking forward to another spectacular display.

Skyworks kicks off at 8pm on Australia Day and is best viewed from the South Perth foreshore.
