Melbourne Cup was celebrated in various ways in Torrens Creek. At the Exchange Hotel comfort was the order of the day as would be winners gathered to enjoy a tasty lunch and watch the race on the large screen.
The weather contributed to the festive feel of the day and even those whose horse didn’t come in were reluctant to end the day when the main business was completed.
Frances Mackay won the best hat, a Taiwanese concoction of off white (over washed in Torrens Creek water) knitted fabric. The Editor’s choice was Carol’s fashionable red pictured above. Couldn’t have matched the tree better, could she.
