Melbourne Cup 2011.
Nov 1st
I love Melbourne Cup, not because I like horses or like to bet on horses. It’s because it is a public holiday in Melbourne. Aussies from other states, please don’t be jealous . I also took yesterday off, so I have an extra long relaxing weekend. What more can I ask More >
