Situated on the banks of the Darling River, Louth is a must-visit destination for racing lovers.

In addition to the races, Louth Turf Club has all the key elements that make a race day special. Local bookies and a TAB van will be on-site, while the bar will keep you refreshed throughout the event. Don't worry about hunger pangs either, as various lunch and dinner options will be available. And of course, no race day is complete without fashions and novelty events to keep the enthusiasm high.

Gates will open early, giving you plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere before the first race, which is usually around 1pm. Simply purchase your TICKETS for $25 at the gate on the day or through 123Tix online closer to the event date.

After the races, stick around for a lively evening as a LIVE BAND entertains the crowds at the track, with the racetrack bar continuing to serve your favourite beverages. It will be a fantastic opportunity to unwind and celebrate the day's successes.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. The lead up events in the village during the week promise to keep you entertained. Take scenic flights or enjoy farm tours to fully immerse yourself in the Outback experience. Indulge in morning teas and participate in the Gundabooka Golf Challenge on Wednesday. On Thursday, don't miss the Damper and Scone Bake Off, and wrap up the week with the School Fete on Friday.

One of the main events on Friday evening is the CALCUTTA, a thrilling anticipation-building activity. Tickets for the CALCUTTA will be on sale at Shindy's Inn, starting from the late afternoon until 7pm when the draw and auction take place.
