Good morning!
Just a couple of messages!
If you are driving to the Oak Park Race Track please be aware that the road is very washed out in places. Bundock Creek and Einasleigh River causeways are extremely slippery so be very careful.
Working bee dates are:
May day week-end 2/3/4 May 2026
13/14 June 2026

Good morning!
An update regarding the track following the recent flooding.
Austin and Warren recently travelled to the track to check out the electrical damage.
If you haven't received a copy of the report of the electrical inspection that was sent out via newsletter this morning, please contact me and I will email it to you.
Smith's Point and all camps below: These are all self-powered with generators and have had no testing completed. These camps are advised to have their camps power system and appliances tested before energising.
Red Solo, Wild Side, Twoomey camp and Gregory Springs to our knowledge were not affected by flood waters, however it is advised they complete a visual inspection and take action if required.
The bore is active and filling the top tank.
Anthony Di Palma and Gary Cattle will be up on the 20th of this month to continue sorting electrical.
They will prioritise repairing the switchboards that went under water -
Wayne, Top of the Straight, Hassett, Murphy.
The road to the track is passable now so camp owners can travel out to inspect their camps. Please note that the road from the main turnoff and then from the station to the track is very washed out in places so travel slowly and carefully. Do not go off the road as it is extremely wet and you will get bogged.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards
Deborah Woodhouse
