Only in Melbourne could we have a public holiday for a horse race.
Not that I’m complaining, of course. A day off for the three and a half minutes of the race that stops the nation? FUCK YEAH.
do you know what’s better? canberra gets a public holiday as well. they were just like “fuck it, if melbourne can have one, SO CAN WE.” (or, they did last year? idk, help me out canberra people, i just remember being thrown by it last year.)
Fuck, Canberra get it? I grew up 200km outside of Melbourne and we didn’t even get it. Public servants, man.
