Broadford Track
 Broadford Track is the popular name of Broadford State Motorcycle Sports Complex in Victoria, Australia. It is located along Hume Freeway, approximately 88-kilometre (55 mi) from Melbourne near the town of Broadford. Opened in 1975, Broadford Road Circuit (there are 8 tracks in this 96-hectare complex) is 2.16 km (1.34 mi) long and 10 m (33 ft) wide within Reg Hunt Park.[1] It is primarily used for motorcycle racing, but is also used for car testing, although car racing is restricted to motorcycle-engined vehicles due to planning restrictions and the lack of a track circuit licence. It is located 88 kilometres (55 mi) north of Melbourne, on the Strath Creek Rd, Broadford (Just off Hume Freeway). The complex also includes a Motocross track. In 2014, Motorcycle Victoria leased part of the unused land in the complex to Calibre Sports Inc., a handgun target shooting club who have set up a new range.
