Tasmanian men's eight

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.
