The Watergate restaurant is once again helping Paws and Claws with its fundraising efforts and will be holding a charity auction as part of its Melbourne Cup Luncheon on Tuesday 6 November.  

Last year was a great success with a full house, and tickets are selling fast already for this year.

$98 will get you a selection of canapés and a glass of Maison de Grand Espirit Les Petites Vignettes sparkling on arrival and a four-course lunch, the chance to win a heap of great prizes, and of course, the warm fuzzy feeling you've helped Paws and Claws continue their important work.

The (water) gates open at 11am and for reservations call Watergate Port Douglas on 4099 5544.
