Summary

Victoria Park Racecourse was the first official race track in South Austrarlia. Races were run here since 1846. The Grandstand, built in 1882 shows quality in its design and construction. It is a two storey bluestone building with red brick dressings, timber and cast iron detailing and ornate staircases. A white picket fence lines the race track. A few chimneys can be seen in the background but mainly the undeveloped grassy plains stretch up towards the hills.
