Can’t wait for the Melbourne Cup on November 3? It has and continues to be a part of Australian history, with the first ever Cup not yet “stopping the nation” in 1861. The crowd at that time was just 4000, which was a far cry to today’s track attendance. In 2003, a record total of 122,736 people attended the event, not to mention everybody else who was tuned in. It’s also one of the richest turf races in the world. The total prize money for the 2015 Cup is AUS $6.2 million. This doesn’t even include the value of the trophies, which is currently valued at AUS $175,000.00. Aside from the heart-racing action on the track and the huge cash prizes, you can also expect plenty of good food, fun, and fashion.

Seemingly endless fields of green. Crisp air blowing through. Yards and yards of mental and physical challenges. Bobby Jones once said that “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life.” Perhaps this is why so many of us get addicted to the sport. Every shot is an opportunity to get a good break, although it doesn’t always turn out that way. No matter what happens and wherever your ball lies, you have to just keep playing and aiming for the green. The next day you have to go back to the very first tee, play the game and try to aim for that birdie (or albatross if you’re really ambitious) all over again.

So you immediately grab your phone to cancel the rest of your bookings and try to catch the earliest flight home. You try not to panic. Before you break down and give in to frustration; stop and take a few deep breaths. You can do this. Here’s what you need to do.
Whether it’s booking your next car hire, hotel for your next break , or a regular car parking space, reading the fine print is always important. Let’s face it: you like myself, more often than not, don’t.
The danger in not reading them, is that you don’t really know what you just agreed to. Here are a couple of standard airport car parking Terms and Conditions that most people should but don’t know:
Queensland is home to plenty of lush hinterlands and rainforests. From camping spots to hiking trails, you won’t run out of places to explore.
