This year, to join in the Melbourne Cup week festivities, we held our own Derby Day at Meriden, Lynne and Bob Barlow's property just outside Canberra. All the women dressed in the traditional black and white theme of Derby Day.
There was plenty of food and drink to help pass the afternoon, with the rain fortunately holding off so we had some great weather.
Naomi, Karyn, Lee, and Kelly organised sweeps for the Victoria Derby and much of their afternoon was spent trying to get enough change for the various winners' envelopes. The lesson learnt for next year is to not let people pay for sweep tickets with $50 notes!
Nearly all women entered the Best Dressed Woman competition, and I think that Dawn was hard-pressed to select a winner as there were so many well turned-out gals. Franca won the honor with her black-themed arm sling.
Pictures of the day are below. If you can't see the slideshow, then click here.
