So we arrived at the Storey Bridge Hotel mid-morning to a crazy crowd complete with 500 cockroaches! We sang the national anthem about 20 times and the bagpipes went all day parading the cockroaches around the racing ring....in 30 degree heat with 95% humidity yep that's right party people 95%...wow! After several attempts at purchasing a winning roach (the Cobar Cocky; Rudy Zarzof; Red Rocket Destination Anywhere) we had a winner, or at least Packy did anyway! The winning beer flowed, the victory dance was performed and we celebrated Red Rocket's win leading us to finishing up our Australia Day 2007 well into the wee hours and some very sore heads the next day.
The S/B cockroach races have been voted in the top 100 things to do of all time, so if your ever in sunny QLD for Australia Day make sure you check it out!
Over & Out. Photos to follow.
