The 139th Birdsville Races kicked off Sunday in a plume of dust, scorching heat, trackside colour and wild and wacky fashion.
Thousands of punters converged on the Simpson Desert for Day 1 of the first of two 'Melbourne Cups of the Outback' in 2022.
Returning for the first time since 2019, the two-day race meet is being held as a history-making one-off in April as the 2021 postponed September event runs today and Monday with a field of 84 entries across a 13-race program.
