The horses are on the track …
Welcome to the annual running of the Gellibrand Derby, famous for the turn of speed shown by some of the competitors. This year due a very wet track we will not be having our famous snail race, but we will continue in the Spring Carnival spirit. Be prepared for horse racing, fashions on the field – although maybe not in the manner that you might expect 🙂
The horses are on the track!

I send a message, and I hope it gets through
Think of the distance
Think of the miles
All of the valleys, could take a while
