Margaret River Rowing Club

Last Saturday we competed in the annual Augusta Picnic Regatta! 🚣‍♀️ 💦 A great morning on the Blackwood, despite a stiff southerly breeze making conditions less than favourable. Margaret River won the Veteran’s race (composite crew with East Fremantle) and put up some impressive competition in the men’s, women’s and mixed races, as well as the Margies Cup. Thanks to the Augusta Rowers for putting on a great day out and see you again next year!

Great day out at the annual Augusta Picnic Regatta! 🚣‍♂️💦 Thanks for hosting Augusta Community Rowing and to Royal Freshwater Bay for lending us a St Ayles skiff. Well done to all those who competed, especially those who rowed a skiff for the very first time!

🚣 SAVE THE DATE: SUNDAY DEC 3RD, 8AM - 11AM 💦 We are hosting our annual Community Open Day! All welcome - kids and well-behaved dogs (on leash) included. There will be fun races - including our famous 'dog on a SUP' race - with some great prizes, a rolling ergo/rowing machine comp throughout the morning 💪 tours of the boatshed and equipment, and most importantly... a FREE BBQ BREKKY! 😀 Kayaks and SUPs will be available to take out for a paddle once the races are complete.

To pre-empt the likely question of 'where is this mysterious rowing club?' - it's located off Wallcliffe Road, driveway marked 750, then an approx 400m walk from the parking area. There will be signage on the day.

After a week of wild and woolly weather, the river was like glass this arvo 😍 perfect conditions for a paddle.

Water levels super high this week before the river broke through to the ocean just yesterday. Minor flooding in the shed as they climbed a little higher than pictured here on Monday PM. Crazy!
