Scenes from the 2018 Portsea Polo

From frills and fedoras to Stella Artois and snacks, here are scenes from a weekend at the Portsea Polo.

It was a case of frills, fedoras, boaters, beers and, yes, brollies at the 2018 Alfa Romeo Portsea Polo, held on 13 January on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, while a pre-polo dinner the night before was all about the flavours of Stella Artois and local produce.
