The Bend Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend is less than an hour away from Hahndorf on National Highway M1.

Apart from Hahndorf itself, here are a couple of other attractions to entice you.

The Oakbank Racecourse, which will be the concours venue, is nestled amongst the leafy green landscapes of the Adelaide Hills, only a few minutes’ drive from Hahndorf and 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. Its picturesque views, historic importance and well-kept grounds are the major drawcards for thousands of tourists each year. The concours will be in a great area with shade, seating and other facilities, and a pleasant stroll from the main street of Oakbank, where you will find various food and drink options.

Even closer is the unique Karkoo Nursery, spanning three acres filled with thousands of everchanging products including plants, pots, garden art, antique finds, a clothing boutique and home/gift store set amongst beautiful historic buildings. Karkoo offers daily dining with a 150-seat licensed Garden Kitchen in what were the original horse stables.

Oakbank’s attractions are sure to make your concours day very special.
