Banks Rowing Club (VIC) and Melbourne University Boat Club (VIC)

Nick started his rowing at Banks Rowing Club in Melbourne while still at school. He says his most notable performances at Banks were at the Sunday morning barrel.

After moving to Melbourne University to row with its world-class lightweights, Nick’s state, national and international rowing career was interrupted by broken arms from two bike accidents.

Following retirement from rowing and cycling, Nick occupies his time with legal practice in Melbourne and other business interests. He is married with two children.

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.
