The Race That Stops A Nation! That's what they term the Melbourne Cup, Australia's most famous horse race held on the first Tuesday in Nov. That's today! All over Sydney, preparations were underway for the 3pm running of the race that provides the nation with a 10 minute national holiday...
All over Sydney people were dressed up to the nines for the various functions being held...
Some of the top bars and hotels had been booked out by associations and companies looking to entertain clients and staff.....
Big screens were set up all over the city to add to the fun and excitement....
Patrons at the hotel we were staying in all crowded around the TV in the lobby for the running!Australia really stops for about 10 minutes during the running of the annual cup!
