Geocache Description:

On my way to work on the push bike and ppffftttt, there goes the tyre.  Whilst I am waiting for my knight in shining armour to come and assist me, (I do not need to learn how to change a bike tyre) I notice my location and see a spot where a cache can be placed. Welcome to "GeoPony", a log only but I hope you enjoy the container - a fun one for the kiddies, or at least I think so.


The first racetrack in the Alice was on the Emily plain on the East Side of town. In 1878 racing shifted to the Claypan site, west of MacDonnell siding. A track also existed in the heart of town, near where the police station now stands.

The Mount Nancy Racecourse was established in 1928, after a Royal Dedication of land was made for public recreation. The last race meeting at was on 18 June 1977, with the last Race being won by a horse called Abeson trained by Gary Curnow and ridden by Tommy Gibbs. Mount Nacy Race Course had been the home for, firstly the Alice Springs Race Club, and later the Central Australian Racing Club for nearly fifty years. Up until 1927, the name MacDonnell Range and Stuart Turf Club was used, but the name of the Club was apparently changed to the Alice Springs Race Club for about 4 or 5 years, before the Central Australian Racing Club was adopted some time between 1932 and 1935. The name reverted back to the Alice Springs Turf Club in 1986.

Racing moved to Pioneer Park on the South Stuart Highway in 1977, with the first meet on Saturday 25 june, this race was won by a horse called Cobb. The name Pioneer Park was chosen to commemorate all the pioneers who contributed to horse racing in Alice from its early beginnings.

The location is on a busy road, however plenty of verge to pull over, park the car and for the kiddies to get out to help with the hunt.
