Pinjarra is a town in the Peel region of Western Australia along the South Western Highway, 86 kilometres south of the state capital, Perth.
Races are held approximately every second Thursday and every third Sunday, with occasional Wednesdays thrown in particularly during December and January.
In the mid-1960s I often 'wagged school' to take horses to Pinjarra for the races, where my brother rode and my father was an owner-trainer.
The coordinates given are for the main entrance, for variety and because I only ever entered in the back of a McLarty's Horse Transport through the back entrance, I took my photos from the "Open only on racedays" entrance, so that visitors can take unique photos from the front entrance.
