The Binda Picnics are held on what is considered one of Australia's oldest racecourses, located on local property, "Funny Hill", Binda, just north of Crookwell, and hosted by Crookwell and District Amateur Picnic Race Club.
The first race was run on the Funny Hill course in 1848.
This year's races drew visitors from Goulburn, Wagga Wagga, Sydney, the South Coast, the Hunter and western regions, with the day featuring a six race program, along with fashions on the field.
The major winners in the fashion stakes were: Charlie Cox, Wollongong; Olivia Poulos, Paddington; Gill Gilbert, Binda, and Renae Tibbles, Crookwell.
