1930 Victorian Crew
The following description comes from the Victorian Rowing
Association Annual Report of 1930 and shows the tenacity of
the race.
“Victoria led from the start, closely attended by Western
Australia and Queensland. At the quarter mile, Victoria held
a third of a length advantage from Queensland, followed closely
by West Australia, with New South Wales a half a length behind
West. Victoria had improved their position, and at the half
mile mark led by a length from Queensland, West Australia,
followed by New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia. At
this stage, it looked an easy victory for Victoria, who were
gradually drawing away from Queensland. About the mile and
a quarter mark, New South Wales, who were over a length and
a half behind Victoria, commenced a brilliant sustained run,
which gradually but surely decreased the Victorian advantage.
At two miles the light blues had drawn up to within nearly
half a length of Victoria and at 2 1⁄2 miles there was
less than a third of a length between the crews. The rowing
of both crews under pressure was excellent. New South Wales
continued to gain slightly till within 400 yards of the finish,
when a canvas was the margin for Victoria. From this stage
to the finish, Victoria appeared to hold their tenacious rivals,
and fully extended after the gruelling race, neither crew could
increase or decrease the narrow margin that meant victory for
Victoria by three feet. As mentioned before, the rowing of
Victoria and New South Wales was of the highest order and a
tribute to the respective coaches.”
