Steeped in history, the Camperdown Turf Club is one of the Western District’s most picturesque racecourses. Just a leisurely two hour cruise down the Princes Freeway from Melbourne it is a must for the bucket list.
Camperdown is renowned for its heritage listed, iron made grandstand where race fans can grab a drink and position themselves with the best view of the thundering thoroughbreds flying past the winning post on the biggest day of the year, The Camperdown Cup.
Situated amongst Camperdown hillside, just shy of Lake Colongulac, Camperdown is a stunning country town, nestled in between Colac and Warrnambool that boasts terrific racing, but also plenty of activities, dining and accommodation in the region, making it an easy, yet brief weekend getaway to tie in with the Camperdown Cup.
