I was in Sydney over the last week finalsing the ending of my project with BDO and Robert Skeffington. It has been a truly learning opportunity and I thanked Robert for all the help and support her had given me over the last few months.
Unbeknown to me, it was also the time of the Melbourne Cup and it was great to see how the city comes to a standstill over a horse race. We had a few tables at the local pub booked out for the event and from around 1pm everyone ended up watching the pub. There were quite a few keen punters wondering if Americain (the favourite) could make it two in a row. While Americain didnt end up winning, one of the people from work did put in $10 for a trifecta and ended up getting a whopping $7995 for it! A very happy Melbourne Cup to him!!
It was an enjoyable afternoon and it was a great way to complete my project in Sydney.
