Thanks for everyone's responses... unfortunately I had good intentions, but it was a work dinner (conference during day) and sadly we were running very late, so taking some nice photos had to be put on the backburner for another day.

I did find out 1 revolution takes 1hr 20! The night we went up, Perth had a huge amount of bush fires down south, and it was VERY, VERY hazy!! Almost made the champagne taste sour...

Would have needed a skilled photographer though to get some good shots. The glass was also quite dusty on the outside. I have got some ideas for next time though... (will try to get extra time!)
