Chris,

What I want to know is why a horse race constitutes a Victorian public holiday??

It's not a Vic hoilday, only a Melbourne holiday, some other cities or towns that don't have their own show day do observe it though.

Don't you guys get a show day holiday up there

Umm,
Yes Al,
I'm settling down a bit next year, have put in an offer on a unit in Busselton (South West coast) hence the boat and sale of the Camper.

You guys live in a house in a town or city... I envy you (ok, maybe only sometimes)
Hell, I will have a land-line phone too, woops rates and bills and all the rest :-))
