Ladies put on those dresses and high heels and gentlemen, suit up! Summer is almost here which means it’s time for the biggest annual racing event of the year.
The 2013 Melbourne Cup is being held at Corbold Park Raceway, Caloundra on November 5. Gates open 9am and tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for concession, so don’t forget those student cards and id’s. Tickets can be pre-purchased or purchased at the gates on the day.
Free buses will be arranged from Noosa, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Kawana to get you to and from the track. For more details on bus times, follow this link. A free shuttle bus will also be running from the main public carpark to the main entry gates from 11am to 5pm on the day.
There will be plenty of food, drinks, betting, entertainment and of course a live watch of the Melbourne Cup race. All items can only be purchased with cash so make sure you hit up one of the four ATM’s located at the course! What a way to end the uni semester or take a quick break from studying…
As the event is outdoors, don’t forget the sunscreen and remember to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water!
The event continues on to the Caloundra RSL afterwards so make sure you keep your dancing shoes on.

Hope to see you all there!
