Race to rival all others
The inaugural Griffith University Boat Race was held on Saturday 6 October on the Gold Coast.
Destined to become Queensland's version of the famous Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, the race was contested by crews from Griffith and the University of Queensland.
The race is the main event in the Head to Paradise Regatta, organised by Griffith University Rowing Club President and dentistry student Dave Houston. Vice Chancellor Professor Ian O'Connor congratulated Dave on the vision and energy he showed in making the day such a success.
It is hoped the regatta will become a key annual event on the Gold Coast’s calendar.
