It is a good little track, and looks pretty much the same as that now.
You can more or less park where you want, watch from your car, and see the whole track.
The long straight is excellent as it allows "all power/no handling" and "no power/all handling" club cars to mix it up.
The straight is also used for drags.
The weather can be a bit challenging at times, wind mainly, but the surrounding plantations do protect it somewhat.
Used to host the Tasman Series, and in the clubhouse there are photos of many of the greats.
It may be the southern most racetrack in the world - I am not sure about that
