Hanging Rock Racecourse

Hanging Rock Racecourse, Country Victoria.

Hanging Rock Racecourse is located at South Rock Woodend VICTORIA and is home to Hanging Rock Racing Club.

The Hanging Rock Races have been held at the base of the world famous Hanging Rock for over 120 years. Meetings for the 2011 Season will be held on Saturday 1 January (New Year's Day) and Wednesday 26 January (Australia Day).  Package information will be available from August 2010.

Traditionally the races were a great day for social gatherings, and we are pleased to say that the tradition continues. Expect a relaxed day, where you can get close to the racing, enjoy good food and great country hospitality.
