The Melbourne Cup!

The Melbourne Cup is the most famous horse race in Australia and it is held in Melbourne every year on the first Tuesday in November. Anthony and I decided to go along as it was our first year in Melbourne and we wanted to see what it was like. It was a very very hot and sunny day in Melbourne and we had a really nice time. We bet a bit of money on the races and didn't win but had fun trying. We had a couple of wins but then lost. Every one dresses up - the guys in suits and the girls wear dresses and hats or things called Facinators. Here are some pictures of all the people there and Anthony and I.
