Salter Oval (known prior to 1945 as the West End Recreation Reserve) is a cricket ground in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. The first recorded match on the ground came in 1948 when Queensland Country Women played England Women.[1] It held its only first-class match in 1981 when Queensland played the touring New Zealanders.[2] Two List A matches have been played there. The first came in 1991 when Queensland played the touring West Indians, while the second saw Queensland play the touring Zimbabweans in 1995.[3]

In February 2016, Brisbane Broncos played North Queensland Cowboys in a National Rugby League trial fixture, with the attendance figure reported at 8,122.[4]
