Australian Boat Race 2020 - Crew Expression of Interest
The Australian Boat Race is the annual rowing match race between the Universities of Melbourne and Sydney. Held for men’s and women’s Eights, the race venue alternates between the Yarra River in the heart of Melbourne and on the Sydney Harbour. It encapsulates the long-standing rivalry between two great cities and two great universities. The Australian Boat Race is a showcase event on each of the respective cities’ iconic watercourses and is the new chapter of a 150 year old rivalry between Australia’s two oldest universities and boat clubs.
