Are you going up north for their summer racing (Gold Coast, e.g.)?

We were trying to make it over to Western Australia. I have a good friend who lives near Freemantle, but we couldn't make it work on this trip. It would be at Ascot (beautiful racecourse) during this time of the year.
Yeah, going up to Queensland. I noticed it did leave one track off, Sunshine Coast in Caloundra. Then there will be Townsville and a bush track about 5 1/2 hours north of there in Mareeba; Eagle Farm and Chinchilla in the Brisbane region.
Maybe I could put together a DT trip to Oz someday. Haven't been to any of the Victoria racecourses yet. There, you could probably go racing every day, different track, over a 2 week period. Last trip to Australia, I was able to do 15 tracks in 15 days in New South Wales.
