Welcome
Welcome to the official Head of the Yarra website - Australia's Rowing Classic event.
As most people reading this page will know, the 2011 Head of the Yarra was greatly curtailed by a sudden storm which resulted in the Yarra being unusable for several hours. This was an immense disappointment, both to the many crews who were unable to row, and to the organisers. On behalf of the organising committee, the chairman and regatta secretary, Malcol Coe has prepared two statements about the circumstances of the regatta and the feedback that has been received.
The Head of the Yarra is held annually on the last Saturday of November (subject to confirmation by the Rowing Victoria. The 2012 Head of the Yarra is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 24th November. Are you up for the gruelling 8.6km rowing challenge upstream from the heart of Melbourne winding up the Yarra River to Hawthorn?
