RACE READY: St Mary's Primary School's Lily Brien, Ellie Cooper, Billy Corcoran, Jesse Thorp and Harjot Sohi ready to race.
Young might be some 600km from the Flemington Racecourse but that didn’t stop locals from getting in on Melbourne Cup Day action.
Schools, offices, pubs and clubs were a hive of activity on Tuesday as residents young and old flaunted their favourite frock or tie to celebrate the race that stops the nation.
