Discover Broadford

Broadford combines a distinctive motorsports offering with insights into local history and a variety of ways to spend active hours. There is also a family pool, a park near Sunday Creek and scenic bushwalking opportunities west of town. You can choose Broadford based on the experiences that suit your holiday.

Motorsports and the Broadford Bike Bonanza

A special event for classic motorcycle enthusiasts is the Broadford Bike Bonanza. The State Motorcycle Sports Complex at Broadford hosts this festival every year over the Easter weekend to celebrate classic motorcycles. If motorcycles are a major focus of your trip, the event offers a specific connection to Broadford and a clearly defined timeframe for your planning.

The complex comprises several distinct areas: a 2.1-kilometre road racing circuit, a supermoto track, a motocross track and a junior motocross track. It also has a dirt track, a speedway track, a junior speedway track and open enduro terrain areas. This variety ranges from road racing and speedway to motocross and enduro. The 2.1-kilometre length refers to the road racing circuit.

Local history in two museums

The Open Air Historic Museum displays buildings and artefacts collected by the Broadford and District Historical Society for the public. The buildings and objects offer different ways to explore the past: you can see both historic structures and collected artefacts. The museum is a fitting addition for travellers who want to discover local history as well as sporting attractions.

Another place to explore local history is the Broadford Courier Newspaper. The building now houses a museum run by volunteers from the Broadford and District Historical Society.

Swimming, skating and time outdoors

Broadford Outdoor Pool is a family-friendly swimming pool with a lap pool, a toddler pool and shaded areas. Broadford Skate Park caters to all ages and skill levels. Groups with different interests or levels of skating experience will find an expressly inclusive setting here.

For a break outdoors, Lions Park near Sunday Creek offers a spacious area for picnics and barbecues. Toilets and a shelter are also provided. This makes the park a different kind of place to spend time than a swimming pool or skate park: the focus is on eating together and taking a break outdoors. Its location near Sunday Creek is a useful landmark for finding the park.

Golf, lawn bowls and bushwalking

Broadford Golf Club has tree-lined fairways, a clubhouse and dining facilities with a bar. If you want to include golf in your trip, you will find a clubhouse and dining options here as part of the club's offering, alongside the fairways. Broadford Bowls Club offers lawn bowls in a location with views of spectacular sunsets. Golf and lawn bowls provide two different sporting options; the stated view is a feature of the bowls club's location.

West of Broadford, nearby Mount Piper offers scenic bushwalking opportunities. This adds a nature-focused option to the town's sports and leisure activities. If you are choosing a holiday rental primarily for motorsports and events, the Bike Bonanza is a distinctive point of interest. For other holiday priorities, the museums, swimming, park, golf, lawn bowls and bushwalking offer a range of options to suit different interests.
