Looking at package deals at a couple of pubs first

I’ve been to cup day before and it’s a good experience but doesn’t compare to derby day or cox plate or even Caulfield cup for that matter
I’ll probably go to Oaks on Thursday though and stakes day if my liver can handle it


Ahhh, apparently my mate has booked a bit of a surprise for the evening so I've told my boss that I'll have to WFM on the Wednesday.

Watching 50,000+ singing "Sweet Caroline" at the Everest was quite something, I'm not sure that the Cup will have the same atmosphere but it will be ticked off the bucket list.

My brother and sister in law went to a cup about 8 years ago, he said he lined up for nearly 3 hours for coffees when they go there and she took two hours to go for a leak and they left.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Doing the whole carnival from Saturday-Saturday is on the bucket list. One day.

Oasis next Saturday night in Sydney for the wife and I's 10-year wedding anniversary. Flying Friday morning, back Sunday night. First time with no kids for more than a night and first time in Sydney as a tourist. Can't wait.
