A record-breaking $55,000 was raised in a few short hours at the Nu Nu Restaurant annual Melbourne Cup fundraising lunch.
It was certainly a case of shining bright like a neon sign at the five-star event, which smashed all previous records in the now 19 years it has been held.
The 2022 final tally means the event has now raised more than $305,000 for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.
