The West Australian Rowing Club is a rowing club based in Perth, Western Australia. The club has operated out of a boatshed next to Barrack Square since 1906.
History[edit]
While the current club was incorporated in 1894, the club believes it has roots dating back to 1868.[2][3][4][5] It was the first rowing club in Western Australia and is the last one remaining on the Perth city foreshore.[6]
The club opened a boatshed next to Barrack Square in March 1906. The boatshed received a permanent listing on the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places in 2001.[7]
There was long standing rivalry with Swan River Rowing Club in the early years of the two organisations.
