Some punters opted for traditional country meet fashion style, while others took an “anything goes” approach – dishing up looks to shock, shake and shimmer.
A bucket list cultural event as much as a historic race meet, the Birdsville Races – now in its 137th year – attracted more than 8,000 travellers from all corners of Australia last Friday and Saturday for a jam-packed 13-race card, as well as unique outback entertainment and activities.
The carnival’s headline race – the Birdsville Cup – was taken out by apprentice jockey Clayton Gallagher on French Hussler, with the event featuring a record five female jockeys in competition across the two days of racing.
