Australian Interstate Championships —
Men's: 4 Apr 1970 Lake Wendouree Vic
Women's: 9 May 1970 Milton Reach Brisbane River QLD
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format for the Men's Interstate Championships
was again heats, repechages and finals.
The closest race of the day at the Women's Interstate Championships
was the Lightweight Four Championships with less than 2
lengths covering the three crews. It is interesting to note
that the two Queensland crews contained the same personnel
and that Shirley Graham competed in all three events. SA
did not participate in any of the Women's Championships.
