1981 National Championships - Hinze Dam QLD

1981 Programme Cover

The Championships were held 8-12 April.

The Queensland Association chose to conduct the Championships at the picturesque Hinze Dam, the water supply storage for the Queensland Gold Coast, a course not previously used for these Championships.

Despite some unseasonal weather during the early events, the Championships and the course worked well. The ABC provided coverage of these events over the last two days.
