By half way the lead was reduced to within 1/2 length, but the Tasmanians responded and drew away to win by one length to Queensland, 3 lengths back to NSW and Victoria last. The South Australians broke an oar early in the race and did not finish.

The ideas and format for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin has developed and extended the histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and 2005 and acknowledges the ongoing assistance of Margot Foster.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
