[1/1] SM 37 - Former Racecourse,

Statement of Significance

The former racecourse retains course rails, furlong posts, some picket fences and other structures. The straight to the winning posts is still evident. The racecourse indicates the settlement of land in the area for agricultural and mining purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.
