Racetrack, Melbourne |

The first
Melbourne Cup held in 1861 was certainly a dramatic event. According
to legend, Archer, the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup, was
reported to have walked 850 km (560 miles) from Nowra to Flemington
to be a part of a race that one day would capture the spirit of
a nation.
While at the time the news of the death of the explorers Burke and
Wills may have kept people away from the race, a modest crowd of
four thousand watched the seventeen starters and the thrilling lead
up. Before the race commenced, Twilight started early and was captured
only after he had run the whole course, and tragically, two horses,
Dispatch and Medora, had died after a fall.
The following year Archer raced again to win his second successive
Melbourne Cup. Although it is rumoured, he again had walked from
Nowra to Flemington, many people thought it was more likely that
he had travelled anonymously by ship.
Despite his owner's intention to race Archer for a third Melbourne
Cup, he was unable to do so because of a technical error. Archer's
acceptance nomination to race failed to arrive in time because it
was delayed in the post. As a result, owners scratched many horses,
in a show of solidarity. This left a starting field of only seven
horses that history shows was to be the smallest field of horses
to race in the Melbourne Cup.
At ten years of age, Archer fell in a race and was retired to stud
but his place in history was forever cemented. The first Melbourne
Cup winner was immortalised in the 1984 film Archer. |

Heritage and Roses

Jenny Falconer |
A
Celebration of Heritage and Roses is held in March each year and
is a week long festival incorporating Cathedral Week and the annual
City of Goulburn Rose Show (11th and 12th only). The festival celebrates
Goulburn's birthday on 14 March as the First Inland City.
Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria on 14 March 1863 established
the Diocese of Goulburn giving Goulburn city status and making it
the first inland city. The existing St Saviour's Church became the
Cathedral. The festival also incorporates 'Cathedral Week' activities.
The many Festival activities will transport you back to the early
1900s and bring history to life. Autumn is a perfect time to enjoy
the city in full bloom. The heritage of the Goulburn district reaches
into the future and is alive and growing. Come — be a part
of it! |

The
Collector Village Pumpkin Festival is an annual event, celebrating
the Village of Collector through Pumpkins. The Festival weekend kicks
off with a Pumpkin Ball on the Friday night. Entries for the Festival
Competitions are received during Saturday. Stallholders of craft,
wine and fine foods arrive early Sunday morning and set up their
wares for Festival Day. Exhibitions, events, competitions and demonstrations
occur at different times during the day amusing, entertaining and
delighting adults and children alike. 6000 visitors are expected
in 2008.
Featuring the classic heaviest pumpkin competitions, the Festival
also prides itself on its "Most Unusual" pumpkin competition,
which encourages a weird and wonderful visual feast of crazy pumpkins
on display on Festival day.
Add scarecrows competitions, wheelbarrow races, fun activities for
kids and a host of stallholders featuring the very best of local
and regional produce, the Festival prides itself on its unique expression.
So don't miss out! |
