Birdsville Races Air Adventure Tours 

The town of Birdsville, population 395, sits in the far south western corner of Queensland, and every year this dusty, isolated town hosts Australia's most famous outback horse races.  The races have become a very popular event, attracting spectators from all over the country.  The Birdsville Races first took place in 1882, and today the races attract about six thousand attendees for the two-day weekend event.  This year the races will be held on September 5th and 6th 2014.

Officially called the Annual Birdsville Racing Carnival, the event now features a 13 race program, with prize money of over $100,000.  Winning the XXXX Gold Birdsville Cup is a widely-coveted achievement.  The track is a few kilometres southeast of town, situated on a claypan between the sand dunes.  It is two kilometres in circumference and it is one of the only tracks in Queensland that runs counter-clockwise.  The longest race is the XXXX Gold Birdsville Cup at 1600M, and the shortest is the Outback Dash Class One at 800M. 
Because the town of Birdsville is so remote, visitors come mostly by private and charter aircraft to the town's airstrip, or by van and other vehicles to camp for the weekend.  The races attract all types of people, from nomads and backpackers to more discerning travelers, most of whom arrive by private air charter.  Although some revelers are dressed to the nines, many others wear costumes and Hawaiian shirts, all in the name of the festivities.  Three nights of scintillating entertainment are on hand at the carnival, with live music and comedy.  Additional entertainment such as Fred Brophy's Boxing Tent and Fashions of the Field is also featured.  But the main draw is the racing itself, unique in its fervor and surreal setting.  A trip to the Birdsville Racing Carnival is an experience you won't forget.

  1. Getting from one place to another in Australia can be quite time consuming and troubling for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility, this is why acquiring a private aircraft can be the best way to solve this problem.There are many reasons you should do this. First of all, you'll get the privilege of avoiding lengthy waits at the airport.
    You'll also be the one that creates the schedule for the aircraft, and it will be at your disposal 24/7,
    ready to take off whenever you want.
