Bunbury celebrated New Year’s Eve with a range of parties on Saturday night.

A big crowd was at Bunbury Trotting Club for a full race meeting and spectacular fireworks.

The crowd was entertained by a live band while it was an historic night on the track as driver Chris Lewis notched his 5000th career win.

Across town, South West Italian Club was another popular destination as a relaxed and family-friendly cabaret night took place to bring in the New Year.
