The Melbourne Cup in Sydney

Where to watch the Melbourne Cup in Sydney?

There are many fine places to watch the Melbourne Cup in Sydney. You could watch it in a pub, club and even in the office. All very nice. You could watch it in a cafe or restaurant, even at the race track, like Randwick and Rosehill. That's all wonderful but somehow nothing would appear to match watching the race in the middle of Sydney Harbour.
