In the lead up to race day, today is full of sightseeing and meeting new people.

It is the first and tallest of 1,100 sand dunes in the Simpson desert and you have the unique opportunity to climb up and see what’s on the other side.
The tiny town of 100 will swell to over 5,000 today with racing enthusiasts gathering for the big race. The famous Birdsville hotel is where you will find all the action to dance the night away. The veterans and the first timers will gather together for hints and tips on how to pick a winner...

The big day... first we go over the SA border to see the start of the Birdsville track. The Birdsville race track is a natural claypan track making it flat and fast. There is a 12 race program for the Annual Picnic Races today with the running of the esteemed Birdsville cup; over 1,600m it starts in the back straight, the Birdsville track is one of only four tracks in Queensland that runs anti-clockwise.
You can come and go as you like today using the Greyhound shuttles that continuously run from town to the races. You can’t miss the carnival atmosphere, there are many attractions like a boxing tent and sideshow stalls; you can even go into town and visit the Birdsville Working Museum for a look into yesteryear. Tonight is the last night under the stars; you could spend it at the pub sharing stories with new found friends or simply wind down back at camp.
