dReAmZtRee: Melbourne Cup @ Melbourne

For non-OZ, do u noe wats Melbourne Cup is?

Here is da meaning from Wikipedia:

The Melbourne Cup is Australia's major annual thoroughbred horse race. Billed as The race that stops a nation, it is for three-year-olds and over, and covers a distance of 3,200 metres. It is generally regarded as the most prestigious "two-mile" handicap in the world. The event is held on the first Tuesday in November by the Victoria Racing Club, on the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. This day was traditionally only a public holiday within metropolitan Melbourne, but is now also observed as a holiday in the ACT.

The race was originally held over two miles (about 3,218 metres) but following preparation for Australia's adoption of the metric system in the 1970s, the current race distance of 3,200 metres was established in 1972. This reduced the distance by 61ft 6in, and Rain Lover's 1968 race record of 3min.19.1sec was accordingly adjusted to 3min.17.9sec. The present record holder is the 1990 winner Kingston Rule with a time of 3min 16.3sec.

The event is one of the most popular spectator events in Australia, with sometimes over 110,000 people, some dressed in traditional formal raceday wear and others in all manner of exotic and amusing costumes, attending the race. The record crowd was 122,376 in 2003. The 1926 running of the Cup was the first time that the 100,000 mark had been passed.
In 2007 a limit was placed on the Spring Carnival attendance at Flemington Racecourse and race-goers are now required to pre-purchase (means u reli cant go without a ticket u noe? Only pre-purchase) tickets.

Trust me the ticket is really exy and yet still SOLD OUT for da most expensive ones! Gosh, imagine how rich they are. And they purposely buy nice dress and hat with nice fluffy feather to the event. And u can see whole train full with 'fluffy people'.

Some of them reli beautiful with their creativity. This is wat i took outside Flinders St station.
