Gawler & Barossa

Gawler is a thriving township on the edge of the renowned Barossa Valley and located only 50 minutes from Adelaide, it's an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Gawler & Barossa Jockey Club is one of the first landmarks you see driving in to town, with its picturesque rose gardens, lush green lawns and impressive new function centre, The Terrace.

The redevelopment of the site was completed in July this year and is considered a great new centre for locals and tourists alike to enjoy both racing and special events. Premier Mike Rann officially reopened the track at the first race on the new surface on Wednesday 14 July 2010.

The Club hosts 14 mid-week race meets throughout the year, as well as its two Sunday events including the annual Gawler Cup.
