Did you know that Nanua racecourse was originally laid by my Dad, Garrood.

He bought a thoroughbred from F. G. White a broker in Broken Hill for Ted (Ted Bright). The mare was called Fantasy and she was by Kyclos out of Cyclon both very good horses in their day. Ted did not go ahead with the purchase so Dad kept her and trained her at Kimberley and laid the track now Nanua, this was about 1940. When Dad retired he gave her to Darby and he won many races with her up until about 1948.

Rob Seekamp
21st June 2010

A life taken tragically but leaving a never ending legacy.
Forever remembered for your dedication to your family, friends and community.
Your presence will be sadly missed in our community and our club. 


Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

2006

August: SA Variety Club enjoys a BBQ Lunch at Nanua Racecourse

RESULTS for 2006 

2006 .....   A Successful day with 495 people 

There were perfect weather conditions during the day for the many families in attendance this year.  As the sunset, cold night set in and everyone went into the hall to the dance floor to boogie the night away.

Olive trees were planted as a memorial to Kim Smith, Jonas Smith and Don Toohey.
