Grafton Rowing Club Rowfest

A weekend event with something for everyone, not just rowers, with static displays of beautiful wooden boats from the past; exhibition rows in wooden boats; a replica Viking boat; wooden ergometers; workshops and presentations on wooden boats; plenty of food and drinks; and wrapping up with the annual Two Islands Row fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter on the Sunday.

The Clarence River has such a rich rowing history, with so many people participating over the years, many of them in classic, hand-made wooden boats, with the beautiful warmth of timbers such as Spruce, Mahogany, and, of course, Australian Cedar.

Come down and revisit the look and feel of these lovely boats if you or someone you know rowed in them, or have your first experience of them if you have not already had the pleasure.

Entry is by donation.
