Melbourne Cup at Flemington

Posted by Jonny

Posted on November 7, 2007

Oh yes! Only arrived in Sydney and we were jetting back to Melbs. Staying on Frankie's & Jalinda's floor for a few days. The Cup in a Tuesday this year with the whole state of Victoria on a public holiday. We were up early at 9 for the train. I had bought a new suit with the help of the lads back in Sydney and was looking sharp. Joe was his usual self, swagger included, looking the bee's knees.

We grabbed a train out to the course and were in for a quick bratwurst, hotdog and a beer. The day was a scorcher. We all got burnt. Joe and I won nothing, we had two second places but we throughly enjoyed it all the same. We drank champagne and smoked cigars none the less.

We hit the town and met up with Joe's lovely sister, Ann, and her friends. We had a great day and an even better night. Cheers to the lads in Melbourne for letting us stay on the floor and also to Ann and the girls for stuffing us at the track.

Enjoy the pics, the sun is getting hotter and hotter you'll be glad to hear. I am so burnt today. You can see it in the pics of the night!

Back to Sydney Friday for apartment hunting (more partying).. YAY
