Mel - last year i went to Melb Cup day At Ascot Racecourse in Perth, it was 41*C... I drank one bottle of champers and was rotten... and then had to be in a car for over an hour to get home! Living in Tullamarine is good, DH is taking me to Essendon to the train station (15mins) and then less than 10 mins on the train and ill be there! I'll prolly go into Crown afterwards, may as well make it a BIG day out!!

Anyone else going to Oaks Day??
