1906 Winning Tasmanian Crew
Due to a special rate obtained by the Victorian Rowing Association,
all States were able to travel to Perth on the same steamer.
The course and arrangements were regarded as excellent. A record
crowd of 50,000 spectators witnessed the race. There was no
hiding the delight of all but the Victorians present that they
had been beaten at long last. Victoria and Tasmania led over
the first half mile from the other crews. Tasmania then started
to push away and by the half way mark, Tasmania had a 2 length
lead. Tasmania maintained a lead of about this margin throughout
the balance of the race with the other crew several lengths
further back.
