Maxwelton, a town in north-west Queensland is now the state’s first horse racing club with an all female executive board.
Tammy Bailey who is the newly elected president of the club says the move was not done deliberately, only after being elected they realised they were all women.
Locals in Maxwelton have been racing horses since the 20th century and a Racing Queensland spokesperson says there is no record of another all-female executive in its history.
