Queanbeyan Showground, Heritage site in Queanbeyan, Australia.
The 8.78-hectare showground features a brick grandstand from 1939 with a corrugated iron awning roof and memorial gates at Lowe Street entrance.
During World War II, the grounds served as a drill location for the Canberra troop of light horse and an emergency caravan park during river floods.
The site holds Aboriginal significance, with documented large gatherings and ceremonies dating back to 1841, including traditional corroborees and tribal meetings.
Located at 19-41 Farrer Place, the showground continues to host agricultural shows, trotting events, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Archaeological findings at the showground have revealed burial sites and ceremonial artifacts, confirming its role as a traditional Aboriginal meeting place.
