Last Tuesday was the day of the Melbourne Cup, in Sydney it is a day for long lunches and celebration. It is also the day everyone seems gripped by gambling fever, the long queues at the betting agencies attest to this. For the record an outsider: Green Moon won to the bookies delight!
I'd love to go and experience this great atmosphere for myself.
