🏇🎩 It’s time for the race that stops the nation… and maybe the office! 😉
Whether you’re cheering for your favourite horse, sporting your fanciest hat, or just enjoying a sneaky day off, don’t forget to:
☕ Stay hydrated
🍽️ Keep snacks healthy (so you don’t need a doctor after all the treats 😅)
💤 Take a little break if the excitement gets too much

From all of us at EFMC, we hope your Melbourne Cup Day is full of fun, fashion, and (hopefully) a lucky winner! 🏆

🦴💙 Doug’s Got Baby Fever!

Our resident skeleton, Doug Upp, has been absolutely fascinated by Rachel’s growing baby bump lately — we caught him mid-inspection this morning! 👶🍼

Don’t worry, he’s promised to keep his bony hands to himself (mostly). 😆

We think he’s just a little jealous he won’t get any baby cuddles! 💕

Doug the EFMC skeleton's ready for Halloween — he finally found a costume that fits.

Love your morning run or afternoon walk? Try to get out early or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
🔥 Avoid the midday sun (10am–3pm).
💦 Drink water before, during and after.
🐶 Bonus tip: if the pavement’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws too!

The weather’s heating up and so should your water intake! 💧
Dehydration can sneak up quickly, especially during our Queensland summers. Keep a reusable bottle with you, sip regularly, and remember — if you’re feeling thirsty, you’re already on your way to dehydration.
Stay cool, stay hydrated and if you start feeling dizzy or light-headed, pop in and see us.

Warm weather means barbecues, picnics… and mosquitoes. 🦟
These little guys can carry infections like Ross River virus, so keep the repellent handy, wear light long sleeves in the evenings and clear standing water around your home.
If you get persistent joint pain or a rash after mozzie bites, check in with your GP.
And if you’re heading north or overseas, check if you need any vaccines or travel advice — we can help with that!
