Harts Range is approximately 220km north of Alice Springs along the Plenty Highway. The race started as a bet in 1946 between station owners, stockmen and police as to who’s horse was fastest. It is now an annual event and includes local horse racing, bull riding, gymkhana and even lizard racing. We were volunteering in the canteen and had a great weekend out bush with friends. Pics show the local punters checking out the stock and police horses.
