Cairns RC is a not-for-profit club registered in Queensland, Australia. All proceeds from membership fees, race fees and other club fund raising activities are used for operating the club and making improvements such as track rebuilds, equipment purchases & upgrades.
Cairns RC Club originally was created in late 1980s at the location of Aeroglen. During this time the championships where held in Smithfield. After consideration it was advised to move the club to a new location been behind Fred Moule Pavilion at the showgrounds in the late 80s early 90s. We remained at this location for about 4yrs.
In mid 1990s an opportunity raised to relocate behind DFO Westcourt. Which became the temporary location for ON Road and OFF Road tracks until permanent grounds had been secured. Off Road track relocated to Gordonvale in around 2007, with the On Road track securing the grounds in 2001 at the skating ring in Mununda.
In 2011, Cairns RC hosted the QLD EP 1/10th Titles at the purpose built track in Gordonvale.
