Action speeds up at reservoir

Boats roared across the reservoir all weekend.

Some of the fastest circuit boat racers in Australia hit speeds of up to 240kmph when competing for the Melton Gold Cup over the weekend.

Now in its 28th year, the Melton Gold Cup had Australia’s fastest Blown Alcohol Displacement (B.A.D.) racing boats and 2,500 daily spectators descend on the Melton Reservoir.

Photographer Ljubica Vrankovic visited to snap some shots of the action.
