I'm not australian, what exactly is Cup Day?

[stef]

the melbourne cup is a huge horse race day and has been an aussie
tradition for a loooong time... everyone has parties and dresses up in
race dresses and big hats and its lots of fun... <!--

Yeah, lol...the whole nation stops just to watch a horse race - even parliament! We're so slack.


I didn't put any bets on, but would have loved to have been in Melbourne, all dressed up with one of those fancy hats with all the feathers [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
