Polo Carnival at Millamolong - 2013

We had an amazing day at Millamolong last week, we had heaps of food, a lovely marquee area and perfect viewing of the polo. 

Everyone embraced the whole country day out and I have to say there were some rather gorgeous outfits on show.

We were very lucky with the weather and only one couple got completely lost en route this year which was a pretty amazing result given the entire event is in the middle of nowhere.

Be warned, it is a bit of a drive to get there, nut so pretty when you come down the drive way into Millamolong.

The polo teams getting ready for another chukka.

We settled in with coffees, the weekend papers and gourmet sandwiches and patises Mr L'Orange and I had been busy making the night before. It was very exciting every time the horses galloped past and we all really got into the polo - it is certainly an all action sport.

Everyone enjoyed themselves, even the ids as the entire event is very kid friendly.

We brought along a bbq and had gourmet sausage sandwiches in the afternoon plus plates of cheeses, meats and nibbles during the day - we slightly over catered!

We finished up by watching the car versus horse race in which the horse seemed to do very well however the car, who also happened to be the major sponsor, won on the day! 

Make sure you book a tent for next year - we'll see you there.

Millamolong Polo Carnival 2013

My country style outfit is at the ready (jeans, boots and nice top!), we have a fabulous picnic menu planned, transport is organised and lots of friends are coming to stay because we are off to the Millamolong Polo Carnival this Saturday!

This year we have booked a marquee and are taking a bbq so we have delicious hot food cooked to order throughout the day - by one of the men! I have also made a few yummy platters to keep everyone sustained whilst beverages are consumed during polo play.

To get a feel for the polo, check out this video of the Millamolong Polo Carnival action.

I'm expecting pretty much the same level of horse and strapping men excitement as prior years just with more friends joining us for a great day out. If you are at a loose end this weekend then head out to Millamolong, there is a bar and food tents there so you can just turn up and enjoy.

Post polo everyone is headed back to our place for some curries and more drinks - roll on the weekend I say! Dog A L'Orange will be left home alone all day so we hope there won't be too much garden destruction upon return. 

Our cunning plan is to take him on a long exhausting walk in the morning and then leave him with some big frozen bones to chew. Will tell you all about it next week!
