Head of the River (Queensland)
- Head of the River (Queensland)
The Queensland Head of the River refers to two high school rowing regattas in Queensland Australia, one for boys (Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc., GPS) and one for girls (Brisbane Schoolgirls' Rowing Association., BSRA). The boys regatta is held in mid to late March whilst the girls regatta is held in late August early September. Because of the lack of water at Wivenhoe Dam the boys Head of the River is held at Lake Kawana on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Due to the fact that the girls need 10+ lanes to race, the Head of the River is held at Hinze Dam.
