The Nation Stops

Today, the nation stopped for approximately 2 minutes. Each year on the first Tuesday in November one of the worlds greatest horse races takes place in Melbourne at Flemington, “The Melbourne Cup” Today was no exception.

It was extra special for myself and a group of others as we were able to attend the local race meat in Rockhampton at Callaghan Park. You can probably guess that due to the fact that myself and the team were at the races that we were closed for the day!!!!! It is quite unheard of to close for a day but not only did the nation stop, but so did the restaurant. That is the power of this race in Australia. We made full use of our day out together and began bright and early with a casual game of golf. Enjoy this quick video of the boys.

Sorry not much of a food related article today!! Back to work in the morning.
