The Melbourne Cup

I was chatting with my friend who now resides in Australia and for the past few days, she has been very busy preparing for the documents that her parents will be needing to apply for a tourist visa. She will be bringing her parents over at Melbourne for a short vacation and it will coincide with the Melbourne Cup.

She has been living in Australia for years now and because she can’t take a day off from work, she hasn’t gone home to visit her parents ever since she moved in to Australia. And since her parents will be celebrating their wedding anniversary, she decided to send them tickets so her parents can come and visit her at Melbourne.

Her father is a true horse racing fan so she thought to bring them to Melbourne during the Melbourne Cup. The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s major annual horse race so she knows that it will be a great experience for her father to watch a race of thorough breed horse race during the Melbourne Cup.

She is done finalizing all the documents that her parents need to apply for a tourist visa and hopefully her parents will be given a visa as she knows that her father is excited as early as now to watch the Melbourne Cup.
