Celebrate Melbourne Cup Day

Happy Melbourne Cup Day everyone -

Years ago I had a European friend who arrived in Australia just in time for the Melbourne Cup and he was amazed that the whole country stopped for a horse race - to him this was strange

However when he got to know our culture better he thought "How wonderful that people could" and I think so too

So - enjoy today - for people in Victoria it's a public holiday - and all over the world there are people who stop to watch and listen to a horse race

I don't gamble but I always have a flutter on the Melbourne Cup - and it's more than just a horse race - it's a huge part of our culture

So - have the best day possible
