For 110 years, the Julia Creek Turf Club has been at the heart of North West Queensland life. From early bush meetings under wide open skies to the crowds lining the rails today, Julia Creek has stayed true to what matters — great racing, good company, and an atmosphere you simply won't find anywhere else.
In 2026, we mark our 110th birthday with a race day to remember. Join us for a full race card, commemorative events, and the same outback hospitality that has defined this club since 1916.

One of the richest race meetings in North West Queensland, with horses competing from across the region. Bush racing at its absolute finest.
A Legacy Worn: 110 years of racing style. Heritage elegance meets modern country flair, with $10,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs.
Rub shoulders with locals and visitors alike. The warmth and community you can only find deep in the Australian bush.
Style has always been part of race day at Julia Creek. The 2026 Artesian Express Races celebrate 110 years with a fashion showcase embracing heritage, creativity, and modern country elegance. Presented by Donnie Harris Law.
