Historic Mystery Bay Velodrome

This lesser known historic sporting fixture was formed in the late 1890s by the enthusiastic Corunna Point Cycling Club and located on Corunna Point near Mystery Bay.

Built in 1892, this velodrome is a wonderful example of the interests of Australian communities during this period, and is believed to be one of the few surviving 19th century cycling velodromes. Built on Corunna Point, jutting out in to the Tasman Sea, the velodrome (also known as Mystery Bay Velodrome or Tilba Velodrome) is still very evident.

You can access the velodrome via a scenic track which takes you on a loop from Mystery Bay, through the camping ground, and to the historic Velodrome –

There are many tracks in the campground that lead to vantage points where the spectacular emerald green ocean can be seen, as well as great views of Montague Island and the interesting geology of Mystery Bay.

You can catch a glimpse of many interesting native animals that regularly wander around the campground and National Park.

When you reach the velodrome, ride around it to become part of history. It is a mown grass oval track approximately 400 metres in length.
