use google EARTH,
zoom in on the North east boarder of ACT/NSW Just east of  the airport


most remarkable thing about the Fairbairn dirt track is that it has a 12 meter elevation change 
the start is down hill

good work noel, thats the track guys with the right hander

[Graeme M]

It's a good fun track with a nice fast uphill sweeper and a tricky left hander just before that. It's fairly fast, good spectating, and plenty of room to move.

Here's some pics of an event there a few years back:

Just 4 months to go till the 2008 Aussie DT Championships! Plans are well underway to make this a simply brilliant event. If you love your vintage DT, or even if you would just like to be part of one of the big events on the calendar, then this one is for you.
