The Melbourne Cup By 2/3

The Melbourne Cup is an annual thoroughbred horse race over 3200 metres, held every year

since 1861 on the first Tuesday in November at 3pm.

Over time the Melbourne Cup has grown and grown. And as the sport grew so did the amount of

prize money! The winner of the Cup now takes home more than three and a half million dollars!

But events like the Melbourne Cup have come to be about more than just the horses. Many have

come to treat race days as important social events. And like any big party, fashion became a big

element here too. The Melbourne Cup became such an important event that Melbourne Cup Day

became a public holiday in Victoria!

But the Melbourne Cup wasn't just about money. As racing grew in popularity some of the best

horses like the legendary Phar Lap captured the imagination of Australians.

The thoroughbred became a hero to many Australians winning 37 of his 51 races and even star-

ring in films!

Today, more than 100,000 people flock to the Flemington Racecourse to celebrate the Mel-

bourne Cup each year and about 650 million people worldwide tune in to watch it!

The race that stops the nation started all those years ago as a competition between some of

the fastest horses around. A display of strength power and skill. And down on the track that's

what the Melbourne Cup is still about.

2/3 took part in the Melbourne Cup celebrations by participating in our own class sweep and de-

signing and creating fascinators and ties and bow ties. Don’t we look fabulous!

Barellan Aged Care Support

Men’s Health Education Rural Van (MHERV) is out and

about in rural NSW.

MHREV’s job is to shine a light into the future for rural

blokes. With a few simple tests, shining light may re-

flect green, amber or bright red! Just about anything

that the MHERV tests show can be easily treated by a

local family doctor. But if it’s an amber or red light it

may need to be soon.

It’s a five minute non-invasive group of tests:

blood sugar, just to heart isn’t too stressed

Blood sugar levels - just a pin prick in the finger,

to make sure there’s no type two diabetes, which

is manageable even if there is

Cholesterol - another pin prick to see if levels are

high and need attention

There’s also a bowel test for cancer - we’ll pro-

vide the kit but that needs to be done later at

home

In the past MHERV has shown us a bright red light and

lives have been saved. A health check with MHERV is

completely free, it is a community service sponsored by

Rotary. Contact Community Health Centre for more

details.
