HOW FAR WE’VE COME IN JUST 7 SHORT YEARS Born out of a cramped office space in the Sutherland Shire, comprising of just some lawn furniture, a family of mice and no air-conditioning, Rugby League Player Magazine began on an exciting endeavour some seven years ago to win the Rugby League world over. Granted, we're still working on the air-conditioning [those windows go good!], but, in the meantime, RLP has achieved every other goal and more as we ascended to the very top of the publishing pile. No other magazine can surpass our all-round exposure and popularity with players and fans alike. Boasting more Instagram followers than any other rugby league media organisation on the planet, our strong presence on both Facebook and Twitter, helps to supplement our 65 000 strong readership. Fans worship, and players love us, owing to our visually-centric approach and heavy lifestyle presence - all culminating into the most compelling look at the greatest game of all.

No visit to Mount Panorama is complete without a stop at The National Motor Racing Museum, right beside the track at Murray’s corner. Inside you’ll find a constantly changing array of vehicles that have made their mark not only on Mount Panorama, but also on Australian Motorsport in General. In the galleries, you’ll see many of the dominant vehicles that ruled Australian circuits across several eras, from Touring Cars to open wheelers, rally cars, speedway cars and even motorcycles. The stories of the many drivers and races are told through original trophies, race suits, leathers, race footage and photographs. Take a break in the theatre and watch the introductory history of motor racing in Bathurst since the 1920’s, before taking a spin around the Mount Panorama circuit. Then enjoy a coffee and take in the Peter Brock statue, Museum shop, & playground. Whether travelling with a car club, bus tour, caravan or the kids, we can cater for all your needs, check our new website for full information.
