Collie velodrome is still there and rideable. Not in great condition though.

I had a ride on this track last Easter, recently resurfaced (asphalt) and nice gentle banks, nice day trip from Perth.

Did a couple of test lap a couple of winters ago, a bit hairy with the pot holes you have to do a good recce and then pick your line.
Here's a video of the fastest lap:

Thanks for the pics, that looks very nice. I might have to go have a look soon.

Certainly looks nicer than the Collie track. It's in desperate need of a resurface and looked more suitable to a CX bike when I was down there recently.

Looks good, any idea if it actually gets used? Clubs, racing, training, other?
