Races At Hanging Rock – Australia Day 2008

Jan 26, 2008   //   by Chris   //   Social  //  No Comments

On Saturday January 26th, we had a picnic/photography outing to the Australia Day Race Meeting at Hanging Rock.  Mario arrived early and arranged a great spot for all of us, it was reasonably well shaded which was really good as it was a hot day, although it was quite a bit cooler there than the 38° C back in Geelong.
We all had a really good day, relaxing and taking photos of the races, bookmakers, food vendors and spectators at the race meeting, also some shots of the scenery around the place.  Some of those who attended suggested we make it an annual event as they thought it was a really great day.
And it was a bit like the cricket as we had a streaker, who ran a full lap of the racecourse, which must have been nearly a kilometre or more before getting caught.
