estaurateur Barry Iddles has come
up with an event that will enhance
the guest experience at the annual
Dederang Country Picnic Race Meeting.
Iddles has borrowed an idea that has been
very popular with racegoers at the annual
Melbourne Cup Carnival. A Dederang-style
Birdcage will accommodate approximately
150 punters dressed to impress. Access
will only be permitted to those who pre-
purchase a ticket and the identity of the
celebrity guests will remain a secret.
“I love country race meetings and it’s
fantastic to be able to bring the birdcage
style and class to Dederang,” said Barry.
“A lavish marquee with fresh flowers,
strapping wait staff, a stunning lobster,
chicken & beef buffet luncheon & bubbles
