Get ready to tip your hats and maybe even your teacups as Deloraine rolls out the red carpet for 'Past the Post'. This exhibition, brought to life in cahoots with the Meander Valley Council, pays homage to the local horse racing scene that has been galloping through the years. We're talking about everything from Easter steeplechases to those fearless jockeys who probably thought gravity was more of a suggestion than a rule, along with passionate trainers who make it all happen.

You'll get a chance to dive into the world of racing that kicked off in 1853 with the grand debut of Deloraine's first racecourse at the Alveston Estate. It's been a wild 152-year ride since then. Curated by some enthusiastic museum volunteers and sprinkled with tales from the racing crew, this exhibition is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. So, swing by and take a look at this lively slice of local history.
