This year, for the first time in its history, The Victoria Racing Club (VRC) advised the general public, that in light of the COVID 19 pandemic, it was not possible to welcome spectators to Flemington Racecourse for the 2020 Melbourne Cup Carnival. The tens of thousands of spectators who normally filled the Flemington Racecourse, found other ways to celebrate on this most important Melbourne public holiday.
In the Darebin Parklands, many people went in early in the morning to reserve the best spots for their day out of picnicking, drinking, having a laugh with family and friends and of course listening to the calling of the Big Race at 3:00 pm in the afternoon... It was a glorious Summer's day and I must say everyone was quite sensible about social distancing and mask wearing (except when sipping champagne and munching on canapés, of course!).

So pretty and peaceful. A lovely scene.
