First Look: Birdcage 2017

Singing and dancing up a storm aboard a 59-foot luxury yacht in the Mumm Champagne birdcage marquee.

It was glamorous! The media were invited to attend the official unveiling of Flemington’s lavish Birdcage Enclosure yesterday. This iconic precinct is the playground of celebrities and society high-flyers during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Invitations are always the hottest tickets in town.

I was there to capture all the fashionable action, let’s take a look at how it all went down…
