Melbourne Cup Day on the station at Durham Downs had some of the normal everyday Cup day habits and a few extra ones.
Work for the day was declared ended at 1.30pm and everyone headed for the Kitchen and Social area, including the Woomanooka Outstation crew.
The typical Cup Sweeps, $2, $5 and $10, were first on the list with drinks and nibbles, then a light lunch while we watched the race in the kitchen/dining area. We weren't lucky at all but the boys were very lucky
After the race it was games outside and the first was egg throwing. Once finished the younger ones had egg fights ... And went through a lot of eggs !
Here is George and I having a go at egg throwing, we did quite well !!
Next the music was turned up, and some had a dance. Kim is always up for a dance !
There was even time for swimming in the Cooper Creek, hanging out on the pontoon larking around and some knee boarding and water skiing, before dinner !
Overall, it was a great way to spend a Melbourne Cup day !!
