8. Ladies on the Water
Apart from the Eaglehawk Ladies Rowing Club, women's rowing was not widely accepted by the men in the community. Despite this fact, a rowing club for women was set up, with their boat shed beside the boat shed of the now amalgamated Bendigo and Sandhurst Clubs.
Back row: Edna Goddard (2), David Wilson (Coach) Nell Dodd (3)
Front row: Violet Clifton (Stroke), Bill Parkinson (Cox), Ada Green (Bow)
The St Paul's Ladies Rowing Club competed very successfully at various regattas against crews from Albert Park, Preston, Eaglehawk, Dimboola, Essendon and South Melbourne.
