MELBOURNE CUP
- Duration: 5 Days (approx.)
- Location: Flemington
Join us and experience and the colour of the race that stops a Nation! Melbourne is a vibrant city year round and a joy to visit at any time but it really buzzes as people flock to our southern capital from all over Australia. The locals here delight in hosting one of the biggest horse races on the world calendar. At the Cup we have reserved seating in the stand, the perfect vantage point to take in both the racing and the stunning fashion on display. We will have our own fashions in the field contest which will doubtlessly add to the style and sophistication of the day. The racecourse at Flemington is unbelievably beautiful with many thousands of roses in bloom and we have contracted Armourguard to escort us back to the city with all the bookies cash. During our stay in Melbourne we will take in many of the attractions that make it such an attractive and sophisticated city. Also included will be the iconic Parade of Champions at Federation Square.
Our accommodation is at the Best Western Plus, Carlton, centrally located and a stone’s throw from cosmopolitan Lygon Street
