BIRDSVILLE

Racing began in 1882 under the name of Diamantina Amateur Race Club. The club has raced at this course since mid 1950s. The original course was about 6km west of Birdsville where hurdle races were also conducted. Early races were mainly for 'district-bred' stock horses, sometimes grass-fed or grain-fed depending on seasons. These races were later called hack races.
