Oakbank Racecourse

Oakbank Racecourse, Country S.A.

Oakbank Racecourse is located at Oakwood Road, Oakbank 5243 SA.

Located in South Australia' Adelaide Hills - "blue grass" Racing country - Oakbank is home of the Oakbank Racing Club, a Club which races just twice annually, Easter Saturday and Monday ... since 1876. Oakbank is a fantastic festival for all. The cars come before dawn on raceday - up to 40,000 cars before they're finished, and the Centre of the course becomes a "Disneyland"; a place of fun and fantasia for the young and the young at heart.

It has been over a century and a quarter since Tormentor won the first Great Eastern Steeple around the undulating hill course back in 1876. The race has always been run on Easter Monday except during World War 2 when the army occupied the course and it was run at Victoria Park and Morphettville.
