The rail surrounding Coronation Park commemorates those who have participated in campdrafting and rough riding hourse competitions.
Names of campdrafters and roughriders are attached to the rail.
The sports of Campdrafting and Roughriding in Australia were born in the bush. Men of the country pitted their riding skills and horseflesh against one another … as entertainment in harsh conditions. Stock "camped" for the night, were "drafted" to demonstrate who was the superior horseman and who had the best horses. From this simple beginning, the uniquely Australian sport of "Campdrafting" developed.
