history of australian national rowing championships

2009 Australian Masters Championships, Fitzroy River, Rockhampton QLD

After four days of tough competition, Queensland’s Toowong Rowing Club toped the medal tally with a staggering 19 gold medals, 22 silver medals and 17 bronze medals. The clubs strong performance was a result of a great team contribution with the medals being shared amongst most of the Toowong members.

Other successful clubs include Victoria’s Powerhouse Rowing Club (12 gold, 8 silver, 3 bronze), Melbourne Rowing Club (10 gold, 10 silver, 3 bronze) and Corio Bay Rowing Club (9 gold, 2 silver, 3 broonze) and Queensland’s Commercial Rowing Club(11 gold, 8 silver, 6 bronze).

The weather was excellent until day 4 when blustery conditions took over.

The regatta’s success is in no small part due to the support received by the Rockhampton Region Council.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
