Historical information

According to a researcher, it is possible that the crew pictured were the winners of the Women's Interstate Four-Oared Championship, The ULVA Trophy Distance: 34 Mile Time: 4.55.2 Margin: 1 & 3 lengths 1st SA - Bow: M Field, 2: G Reed, 3: E Arnold, Str: Dorothy Arnold, Cox: J Twigg 2nd QLD - Bow: C Buzacott, 2: H Bruce, 3: D Petrie, Str: E Munce, Cox: Mr W Sullivan, Cch: E Colclough 3rd NSW - Bow: E Crozier, 2: Lil Lewis, 3: Hilda Brown, Str: Leila Clark, Cox: W Farmer. The first official women's championship was conducted at the same time and place as the men's championships and provided good racing. The South Australians were all from the Mannum Club. Perhaps more notable was the creation of the Australian Women's Rowing Council at this regatta on 13th May 1920.
