MELBOURNE Cup fever swept across the city today with many celebrating at events across Perth.
Hosting its first Melbourne Cup event after opening earlier this year, Varsity Joondalup opted for a “simple but elegant affair with specials on bubbly and a sweepstakes”.
Guests we encouraged to “dress to the nines and enjoy the race with great food, drinks and our big screens”.

It was a more formal function at The Pavilion at Mindarie Marina, with a three-course sit-down luncheon, canaps on arrival, flowing bubbles and premium wines and beers.
