Why not forego the hassle and use a different mode of transport to Flemington? Have you ever gone on a boat cruise in Melbourne? Arrive at the races in style with our luxury Spring Racing Transfer service cruising from New Quay, Docklands to Flemington Race Track. Our luxury Melbourne river cruise boats will transport you along the Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers directly to the Spring Racing Carnival.
