The Spring Racing Carnival is undoubtedly the most anticipated event on Australian calendars. Race-goers flock from all over Australia, (and globally), to attend Flemington's horse racing over four days, with a little over 275,000 people attending last year's races…
It's the city with a reputation that extends across the world - there's nothing quite like it; built on stilts in the sea. An architectural splendour fighting against all odds to stay standing.
Listen to any Venetian long enough and they will tell you that the hordes of tourists packed onto cruise ships are literally flooding the city.

‘Home away from home’ is a very cliché term, yet relevant in this setting. For a little over two years [I think... wow, time flies] I’ve been working with Crown Metropol. Given that I resided in Melbourne between the years 2015 and 2017, I'm frequently travelling back and forth for a combination of work, events and life in general. I mean, it’s the most liveable city right?
