About
The Hawkesbury racing pioneers fashioned a racecourse from 200 acres of virgin bushland in 1865, which led to the inaugural race meeting being conducted on the course in 1871. The racecourse has been in continuous use for over one hundred forty-five years.
Surrounded by wide open spaces, a backdrop of the glorious Blue Mountains and the history of a well established racing venue, Hawkesbury Race Club is the perfect location for your event.
Approximately a one hour drive from Sydney and the gateway to the magnificent Blue Mountains, the Hawkesbury is one of Australia's oldest settlements, first explored by Governor Phillip in 1789.
