Neerabup offers travellers two distinct reasons to visit: motorsport and other events at the active Wanneroo Raceway, and the story of the 10th Light Horse Regiment’s camp, explored along the 10th Light Horse Trail. On the trail, an augmented reality display reveals the scale and layout of the entire campsite. When planning, it’s worth first deciding what matters most to you: a particular event date or the historic trail of the camp.

Motorsport and events at the raceway

Wanneroo Raceway is located on Wattle Ave East, near Old Yanchep Road in Neerabup. Motorsport and other events are held there, along with activities run by the club and third-party organisers. If you’re planning your stay around a particular race, event or club activity, check the relevant programme before travelling: events and schedules change. Plan your travel dates around the specific occasion, rather than just a general interest in motorsport.

Both road names are useful for finding your way around: Wattle Ave East is the raceway’s address, and Old Yanchep Road is nearby. Keep the names handy when adding the venue for your chosen event to your travel plans.

The 10th Light Horse Trail and its campsite

At the 10th Light Horse Trail, you can scan the QR code on an on-site sign with a mobile device. The augmented reality display then reveals the scale and layout of the entire campsite. This brings the campsite to life as a place to explore in its entirety; the digital view adds a sense of the regiment’s camp to its story. If you’d like to see the AR view during your visit, check in advance whether the sign is still there.

The 10th Light Horse Trail commemorates the camp of the 10th Light Horse Regiment in Neerabup. The AR view depicts this campsite, so the commemoration and digital display focus on the same place. For visitors interested in history, the special connection lies in this link to the location: the focus is the regiment’s camp in Neerabup. The display makes its scale and layout part of the experience of engaging with this specific historic site.

Two reasons to visit, different ways to plan

At the raceway, choosing an event date is the priority; on the trail, the QR sign is important if you want to see the augmented reality view. These two details offer different ways to plan your travel dates: an event gives you a specific date to work around, while the trail connects the memory of the camp with an on-site display. If you’re looking for a holiday rental for a stay in Neerabup, first decide which of these reasons is the main focus of your trip. You can then plan your preferred dates around a specific raceway programme or your interest in the campsite.
