Melbourne Cup Lunches in Sydney

Australia's most famous thoroughbred horse race takes place on the first Tuesday in November every year (Tuesday November 1, 2016).

Oh, and if you can't make it to a TV screen, this year Twitter will also be live streaming the race straight to your phone, right here.
