Car Rental Caulfield - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers.
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 first 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.
