History
The Beermullah Picnic Sports Club was formed in 1902 and by 1919 it had 47 members. The races were held on land just east of the present day Brand Highway. Besides horse races there were foot races, high jump, etc for both men and women. A large Marri tree still stands beside the Brand Highway. The tree provided shelter for spectators viewing the races. It was a great venue for Beermullah and Gingin residents.
