This post is inspired by a visit to Gower Park in Preston, a northern suburb of Melbourne.
The remnants of the training and trialling track are still very visible:
track, rails, tie ups , wash and even signs.
The US Trotting Association have featured many of the US tracks of bygone days, including Roosevelt Raceway ( now a shopping centre).

Where are ours?
For instance, the wooden posts that held up the outside rail of the straight are still in place at Axedale, now the Axedale Golf Course.

Part of the 1 mile track at Maryborough is still there.
