Australia's finest track cycling venue is named after Dunc Gray, who won Australia's first cycling gold medal at Los Angeles in 1932.

The curved 250 metre track is made from Baltic pine.

To provide a dazzling spectacle of lycra-clad racers, the metal decked roof has glazed central skylights which optimise natural light and eliminate shadows on the track.
