History of Ballarat Head of the Lake rowing regatta

2012 Ballarat Head of the Lake

Ballarat celebrated the centenary of their Head of The Lake in style with the city getting behind its regatta with gusto. The Ballarat Courier researching a glossy booklet showing a history of the event.

The regatta was conducted on Friday 2nd March 2012 in its usual format on Lake Wendouree after nine years on the Barwon River due to drought and the resulting lack of water in the lake.

Ballarat Grammar took a clean sweep of the girls' and boys' Heads of the Lake and also the premierships. A fine result in this important year.

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.
