The Adelaide Hunt Club is an Australian fox hunting club founded in the 1840s.
History
The pack of hounds were introduced to Adelaide in the 1840s, originally called The Adelaide Hounds, the club is very closely linked with the city’s history with events such as the annual ball and steeplechase being social highlights of the new colony.[1]
The pack was originally kenneled at various locations on the Adelaide Plains although urban expansion meant they had to move in the mid-1900s.[1] The club's current kennels are located at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills.[1]
