The historic Towong Turf Club has been racing horses in the magnificent Upper Murray since 1871. The course, one of the most picturesque in the State, hosts one meeting a year in March and attracts thousands of return race-goers.
The course is 10km east of Corryong and an easy 1½-hour drive from Albury-Wodonga. Steeped in history, it's a nostalgic visit to the racing of yesteryear with Victoria's oldest grandstand, century-old elm trees and sweeping views to mountains the Man from Snowy River once called home.
Locals consider the Costello Rural/Quadrant Securities Towong Cup in March to be one of the leading social events on the Upper Murray calendar.
The racecourse and grandstand were used in the filming of Phar Lap. In 1928 noted Australian identity Squizzy Taylor and his gang created a fracas and stole a substantial sum of money in the confusion. He then stopped at Corryong where he robbed a local publican.
The cache is a micro container with enough room for pathtags or small coins as swaps.
