Cup carnival Noosa-style

By Hollie Harris

Noosa stepped out in style for the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 7 November, with a host of local venues offering lunch, bubbles and plenty of fun for the annual event. The storm felt like it might hit the Coast right on race time but held off long enough for Rekindling to take out the truly spectacular win. The rain drops cooled everyone down and in true Aussie style, the fun continued on throughout the afternoon.
