Here we started at the 32 hundred meter mark for the Melbourne Cup the biggest event in Australia’s sporting calendar Walked the saddling ring met and talked to gardeners doing the preparations for the big day and the magestic beauty of the racecourse Next stop the MCG or as Anthony put it Melbournians like to save on letters and simply call it the “G” Saw the magnificent Sporting Precinct Walked on the hallowed turf, through the stands, change roooms, the long room, dining rooms, galleries and Bob Menzies famous “Urinal Window” all with the aid of our guide Jim who’s knowlege and enthusiasm was 1st class This was followed with an adrenaline filled lap of the Grand Prix track at Albert Park with Anthony at the wheel we reached a hair raising 40kph Throw in the iconic landmarks, places of interest, Fitzroy Gardens etc etc etc Tour finished with lunch at the Channel 7 Cafe at Etihad Stadium Absolutely brilliant experience.......would do it all again in a heartbeat One tour not to be missed in Melbourne” Renners2112 on Trip Advisor

“Fabulous day,visiting Flemington Race Course,MCG, The National Sports Museum, Grande Prix track, Commonwealth games village and lunch at Etihad Stadium. A small group of 10 on a small bus was definitely the best option. One of my friends on the tour was not sport inspired,but was really impressed with this tour. I would highly recommend it...so very,very interesting. Do yourself a favour and experience the wonderful Melbourne sporting culture. Great day out,9am to 4pm,with lunch included..thankyou to channel 7 canteen at Etihad Stadium...a very generous,lovely lunch.”
