Flemington Race Course, Melbourne

The Emirates Melbourne Cup is a truly spectacular event and the focal point of the Melbourne Cup Carnival. While most of Australia stops to watch or listen to the race, there’s nothing like being there amongst the 100,000 plus crowd to experience this truly unique event.

It is hard to convey the sheer scale of Emirates Melbourne Cup Day to someone who has not witnessed it before. It is an exciting and exhilarating event where you can experience the pulse of Australia in just one day. www.melbournecup.com/

Sydney International Art Series - Picasso

picasso.gifFrom 12 November 2011 to 25 March 2012
at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney

This is the most significant Picasso exhibition ever to come to Australia. Part of a world tour, the Art Gallery of NSW is the only Australian venue.

Made possible by the closure of the Musée National Picasso for renovations, this is likely to be the only opportunity to see Picasso’s work on this scale in Australia. These are ‘Picasso’s Picassos’ – the works from his own collection that he left to shape his legacy, which were given to the French state after his death.

The exhibition is co-organised by the Musée National Picasso, Paris, the Art Gallery of NSW and Art Exhibitions Australia. It is part of the Sydney International Art Series, bringing the world’s outstanding exhibitions to Australia. The series also features one of the art world’s rising stars, Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Midnight in Paris

midnight.gifGil (Owen Wilson) and Inez (Rachel McAdams) are engaged to be married, and on holidays in Paris with her parents. They are officially in love, but maybe what Gil really loves is Paris in the springtime. He's a successful yet dissatisfied Hollywood screenwriter who still harbours the dream of someday writing a good novel and joining the pantheon of American writers whose ghosts seem to linger in the very air he breathes. Gil is besotted with the Paris of the 1920s, when his heroes F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway traded dry martinis and even drier barbs with the likes of Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. Inez and her family, on the other hand, couldn't care less.

Midnight In Paris' wonderful cast alongside Wilson and McAdams includes Kathy Bates, Michael Sheen, Marion Cotillard and Adrien Brody, who delight in amusing and smartly written scenes. An exhilarating valentine to the City of Light, Midnight in Paris is a pleasure to watch - beguiling, magical, thoughtful and very funny, and a paean to dreamers and romantics everywhere. Now showing in cinemas!
