Minister for Sport, Tourism and Major Events, John Eren– 2018 Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships On behalf of the Victorian Government, welcome to the major events capital of Australia – and proud home of the 2018 Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships. Victoria lives and breathes sport, and no one puts on a show like we do. We’re home to some of the biggest events in the world including the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, Melbourne’s famous Spring Racing Carnival and the Australian Open tennis. While competition is important, one of the best things about the Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships is the camaraderie and enjoyment experienced by everyone involved. Hosting the Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships– and doing it so well – is part of what makes Victoria the sporting capital. Events like these draws visitors from far and wide, keeping our bars, restaurants, and hotels busy, while boosting our visitor economy. They also provide an opportunity to shine the spotlight on our world-class sports and entertainment venues. That is why we’re proud to support this year’s Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships and help stage this fantastic event here in Nunawading. When you’re not at the sport climbing, I encourage everyone to explore the many things our beautiful state has to offer. I hope all competitors, volunteers, fans and visitors enjoy this year’s Australian Open Lead and Speed Championships. Hon John Eren MP Minister for Sport, Tourism and Major Events .

MEDIA RELEASE May 14, 2015 Carnival Guests the Winners on Melbourne Cup Cruise
MEDIA RELEASE May 14, 2015 Carnival Guests the Winners on Melbourne Cup Cruise Carnival Cruise Line is betting big during this year’s Spring Racing Carnival with a winning trifecta combining Halloween, the Melbourne Cup and Oaks Day into an action-packed Carnival Spirit cruise. Departing on October 30, the fun-filled itinerary features a “Halloween spooktacular” theme night before Cup fever takes over. During the cruise, punters will be able to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth with well-known race caller John Tapp sharing his knowledge about Australia’s premier horse race during a Q&A session and a Cup-themed degustation dinner. John has been a mainstay of the Australian racing industry, delivering the results of more than 50,000 races, since calling his first horse race on Sydney’s 2GB in 1965. John said he was looking forward to cruising down to the Melbourne Cup. “Not only will it be a relaxing way to travel, it’s also going to be a great opportunity to meet fellow racegoers and share some tips ahead of the big day,” he said. Popular racing personality Richie Callander will also return to Carnival Spirit this year to impart his top tips in the lead up to the big event. Fashion advice and a fashion parade at sea will ensure guests are ready to put their most stylish foot forward on race day, while other racing themed activities will include sweepstakes and a series of special dining experiences, including a Mad Hatters’ afternoon tea and post-Cup recovery brunch.
