Royal Ascot it’s not! I love the featured image! There’s really nothing else like it; other than similar ‘escapism events’ in the vast and remote sparsely populated vast open stretches of the NT, SA and WA. Say no more! You don’t need a dense population. You only need a mesmeric attraction. The entrenched ‘locals’ do the rest! Mythical ‘outback’ is the alluring canvas. I think it’s more than adequately portrayed in the irresistible ‘promo’ compiled by Queensland Racing! How about the Betoota, Bedourie and Birdsville SW Queensland trifecta? If you don’t dig horses maybe camels are your thing? Julia Creek caters for all tastes!
And I thought now defunct ‘Wallabadah’ was unique?
