With a proud history that spans generations, we continue to honor the traditions of our forefathers while embracing the vibrant energy of today's racing enthusiasts.

Annual Race Meeting: Our signature event features competitive racing, attracting top talent from across the region. With a prize pool exceeding $200,000, it’s one of the richest country meetings on the racing calendar.

​

Community Engagement: We are deeply committed to supporting local charities and community groups. Our events provide significant fundraising opportunities for organizations such as the Northern Suburbs Lions Club, Rotary Sunrise, and the Queensland Lifesaving Association.

-Tourism and Social Events: Beyond the races, we offer a range of social activities including a children’s fancy dress and sports morning, fun runs, barbecues, and evening cabarets. Our comfortable camping facilities encourage visitors to stay and enjoy the full experience.
