The event was cancelled in 2021 but is back with a vengeance for the 2022 season which begins in Bahrain in March. The best drivers in Formula 1 will be in Australia for the qualifying races which are just as much fun to watch as the main race which attracts crowds from all over the world and usually has an attendance of over 300,000 people. A literally roaring event to attend if you are in Melbourne in April.

It is the longest-running event in competitive surfing and is one of the standouts of the World Surf League Championship Tour. If you love the beach and surfing, this event is for you.

The Doncaster Mile

Often regarded as the best mile race in Australia, this race is run at the Royal Randwick Racecourse in April every year. The race continued despite attendance restrictions and was won by Cascadian in 2021. Getting some Doncaster Mile tips are imperative to back a winner of this race. It is a right-handed race for thoroughbreds three years and up and has a total prize purse of $3,000,000. It was inaugurated in 1866 where it was won by Dundee and has been won by legendary trainer T.J. Smith seven times.

Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix

This event is held annually at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Victoria in October, it was first raced in 1997 and has been held there since then. Before that, it was held at the Eastern Creek Circuit in New South Wales since 1989. This event draws around 50,000 people a year and has been won by such motorcycle legends as Valentino Rossi, Mick Doohan, Casey Stoner, Marc Márquez and Max Biaggi. Head on down for the weekend, enjoy the scenery, the beach and the races.

Australian PGA Championship

This golfing event is one of the biggest in the world and is played in Eagle Farm at the RACV Royal Pines Resort in Queensland every January. It was first played in 1929 with Rufus Stewart winning the Joe Kirkwood Cup.  It is a 72 par tournament, spanning a length of 7379 yards and currently offers a grand prize of $1,500,000 and a handsome list of golf tournament prizes. Some of the world’s best golfers have played this tournament including Australia’s Greg Norman, Wayne Grady, Robert Allenby and Peter Senior. International champs such as Scotland’s Andrew Coltart and England’s David Howell have also graced the shores of Australia to win the Tournament. A great event to attend if you are into golfing, and it is held at a very serene and lovely golf course.
