Prior to the first WDC leg, Harness Racing Australia (HRA) and Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) hosted an international drivers reception and presentation at the Campbelltown Art Gallery in Sydney. Brett Atkins, photographer for Tabcorp Park Menangle, was at the reception and shared some photos that Trot Insider has compiled into a photo gallery.
