Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Package – Race Day Cruise

The race that stops a nation! It's the new era of the Melbourne Cup! The first Tuesday of November every year at 15:20 p.m. is a wonderful time in Australia. The whole nation stops for one horse race – the Melbourne Cup.

Melbourne Cup has become an Australian tradition. So is Derby Day, held on the Saturday before the Melbourne Cup, and the races that follow – Oaks Day, or better known as 'Ladies Day', where the ladies don their hats at the Flemington Spring Carnival. If there's just too much excitement for you on Melbourne Cup Day, why not join in with these other hugely popular racing festivities?
