Car Rental Caulfield

The name Caulfield is synonymous with horse-racing in Australia. Owners, trainers and jockeys have been pursuing the prestigious Caulfield Cup since the first race was run over the classic mile and a half (2400m) in 1879 and the names of some of Australasia’s greatest gallopers is engraved on the silverware. Traditionally decided on a track located in a long established southern suburb of the same name on the third Saturday in October, the Caulfield Cup is regarded as a vital lead-up race to horses which line up for Australia’s greatest horse race, the Melbourne Cup, on the first Tuesday in November.

Caulfield also has a large Jewish population which includes mining magnate and saviour and stormy petrel of the Melbourne Football Club, Joseph Gutnik. The concentration of Jews made the neighbouring suburb of Elsternwick a first choice location for the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre. The centre was originally set up as a memorial to the six million Jews slain under the Nazi regime, but the charter has since been widened to combat all forms of racism and to preserve the Australian tradition of tolerance, acceptance and understanding. The museum is open to the public from 10am Monday to Friday and from 11am on Sunday.
