Map of the Town of Nuriootpa with the circuit highlighted.
 
The Start/Finish line as it appears today.
The stretch along Research Rd has changed little since the racing days.
Coming up on the Railway line
There's a tight'ish right hander
The road crests and the Angaston Rd joins from the left.
The aptly named Railway Rd has a fast series of kinks around the station as you will see.
Entering the Town of Nuriootpa
Swinging left back around the Railway Station.
The very tight right hander onto Murray St.
A lovely sweeper leads us across the North Para River for the first time.
A quick cloudburst as we enter the main township of Nuriootpa.
This area has been vastly changed from the original Village of the racing days.
Here we're just out of the corner onto Penrice St.
A Fantastic Series of bends.
Note South Australia's unique 'Stobie' Power Poles.
They are original and have likely been there since before the days of the racing.
Across the North Para again.
Again, not counting widening and armco this stretch is much as it was.
The Fast downhill stretch on Penrice St.
Just crossing the finish line (yes the start and finish lines were in different places)
Back onto Research Rd to complete a lap of the Nuriootpa circuit.
