The QEII Track
Club is located in the 'Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre'
(QSAC) 590 Mains Road Nathan.. This centre has been called a variety of names including
the 'QEII Jubilee Sporting Centre' and 'ANZ Stadium'.
The QEII Track
Club trains on the 'Warm Up' track which is know know as the 'State
Athletic Centre' (SAC) which is to the left of the main
stadium. In the map below it is shown as a blue/green oval to the left
of the centre. Note the map shows an entry from Mains road but
that has been closed off. The entrance to the centre is from Kessels
Road.
As you enter the
centre you have to turn left into a one way ring road. This will
bring you around to plenty of car parks for the warm up track. The car
parks are the grey area on the map which has the word 'Queen' written
over it.
If you are new
to the club then the best place to meet your coach will be at the
attendants booth at the entrance way to the training track. The
Government charge each athlete $3.50 per training session and there is a
person in the small cream booth/building to your right as you enter
the track (It is behind the large white sign in the picture below).
The other place you may be
asked to meet is the equipment shed. If you look at the second picture
below you will see an access road to the right within the confines of
the track itself. If you walk up it towards the end of the grounds you
will see a large white container and next to it a series of roller
doors in a large green shed near to a light tower. The fourth roller
door along (Marked Disabled) is an equipment shed shared by the QEII
Track Club. You will often find coaches and athletes there
