The proud tradition of the Squatters Cup continues with the first Squatters Cup being presented in 1930 donated by Mr. F.C. Christophersen and G. Lonsdale.

The Farmers & Graziers Squatters Cup has become an annual event. Port Augusta’s central location to farming and pastoralist regions makes it a shopping and social hub for many regional families. A day at the races is an ideal way for rural families to spend time together.

Stay for After the Races to enjoy live music by John O'Dea and food by Little Nibble Co.
