Mention the names Lukey Heights and
Siberia and any bike racing fan will know exactly which circuit
you’re talking about. Set over looking the great Southern Ocean
Phillip Island is one of the most recognisable circuits in the
world. With an ocean backdrop and bird strikes a regular
occurrence this circuit normally throws up some tight racing.
Many of the corners are very high speed and the viewing from all
around the track is excellent.
The grandstand we chose as part
of the package for this event is Siberia. This grandstand
overlooks several corners at the rear of the track and also
offers views right across the circuit. From the back of the
stand you look out across the ocean. Your ticket also gives
access to the rest of the track where the viewing is some of the
best on the calendar.
The cosmopolitan city of
Melbourne will be our base for the weekend. Known as the
liveliest city in Australia with a bewildering array of
nightlife, the city is a gastronomic delight.
Enjoy a cruise along the Yarra
River or see some spectacular 360-degree views from the
Melbourne Observation Deck, hop on and off the free city circle
tram or go further afield and visit the goldfields, nature
reserves and wineries.
With a transfer from the city to
the track this package will let you enjoy all of the racing
while each evening being able to explore this fun city. Run as
a ground only option this is the ideal package to combine with a
longer holiday.
