Birdsville
An early start sees us boarding our private plane for the two-hour flight to Birdsville. In anticipation of this afternoon’s fun, we take part in a friendly best dressed competition aboard our aircraft and attempt to draw the cup winner during an onboard sweepstakes. Touching down in the legendary outback town, we take the opportunity for photos in front of the fabled Birdsville Hotel. An air of expectancy permeates our surroundings as we make our approach to the racecourse, taking our place within either the VIP trackside marquee or the general admission area. The sense of camaraderie proves palpable as our group rubs shoulders with a host of colourful characters. Bolting from the starter’s gate, the field is closely followed around the track by low-flying clouds of dust, before the victor is awarded the coveted Birdsville Cup. With our action-packed day at an end, we embark our plane for the return to Brisbane and a further night at the Pullman Brisbane Airport hotel.
