1993 QLD GPS Head of the River
The 71st boys Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 27th March 1993 at Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland.
The winning crew came from Brisbane Boys College. The crew with two changes, Matt Kesby into the two seat and Lachlan Winterbotham into the coxswain seat, competed at Henley Royal Regatta later that year. The crew won the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup. Simon Newcomb, then at the school, then started a move to create a Queen Elizabeth Cup in Australia for a schoolboy challenge event. Rowing Australia took over the work undertaken by Simon and changed the direction of the endeavour to the Interstate Women's Eight Oared Championship, the Queen's Cup.
