The Melbourne Cup is Australia's major horse race. It is held between 10a.m. and 3p.m. on the first Tuesday in November every year.
The people start to bet in the morning already. Many shops are closed after 2.30p.m. even the post in Bondi Junction in Sydney, because all want watch the race in the pubs and bars.
In the end, more or less the whole east coast stops working because of 4 min horse race. I think Australians are a bit crazy. But ok its fun. I bet 6$ and won 3.50$.
