planedriver Posted Tuesday at 04:53 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:53 AM The race that's stops the nation has just finished. The horse I backed is due in about 7 o'clock tonight I think. Just hoping for a strong tail wind. Not sure whether the prevailing weather conditions match that of our met reports? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted Tuesday at 05:36 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:36 AM Lovely day and a high odds longshot winner from just near me. A few ran out of puff. Been a big deal for years. 7 women jockeys IF I recall correctly.. 90,000 spectators. I didn't wager anything. I offer people tips. DON'T BET on Horses.

440032 Posted Tuesday at 07:55 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:55 AM A friend of mine landed a Squirrel on there some years ago, and he put the skids on the H. RIGHT ON THE H. Not a millimetre off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted Tuesday at 08:25 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:25 AM I used to go there quite frequently, but haven't been for years. These are all my photos. I also went to the older heliport the other side of King Street Bridge, where I took a couple of flights on the Ansett ANA Bells. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

440032 Posted Tuesday at 08:15 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:15 PM Here's my friend's parking effort on the Yarra. (I didn't blur his face - that's how he flies!) He didn't piss around "putting it there" - he just put it there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
