1989 QLD GPS Head of the River
The 67th boys Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 11 March 1989 at Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland.
The Anglican Church Grammar School purchased a new eight racing boat, named Aquilius Chysaetos manfactured by Jeff Sykes in 1988 which was on display at the 1989 Head of the River. Latin for 'Golden Eagle, the name references the schools motto and to the highly prized standard of the Roman Legion, symbolic to striving for the highest prize.
