Melbourne Cup 2013
Once again the Horse Race that stops a nation is in full flow and we were invited to the Bayswater Hotel for an expense paid lunch and for a couple of hours or so the atmosphere was quite good with Raffles,door prizes, fashion shows and dancers helping to fill in the day..My friends in Blackpool UK (where I hail from) studied form and advised me what horse to back.Fortunately I couldn,t get to a Bookmakers (or TAB as it is known in Australia) to place a bet.Their selection did not rate and i saved a few dollars simply by missing to place a bet ! Ironically this race is shown in pubs/clubs and even schools all over Australia and is usually followed by adverts telling people to gamble responsibly !
Adding to the wonderful days ambience the Seaside views were magnificent from the Hotels front window depicting paragliders and the magnificent Urangan Pier a mere 5 minutes drive from my home
