Grab your bike or picnic rug and head to the Yarra for a fantastic day of riverside action!
The 65th Head of the Yarra is an 8 km time-trial from Melbourne CBD to Hawthorn.
Watch 300 rowing eights battle for the lead, racing around tight bends and under 11 bridges along the 8 km course.
Olympic gold medallists Drew Ginn, David Crawshay and New Zealand legend Rob Waddell will be racing, alongside club rowers from all over Australia and New Zealand – even 90-year-old Derrick Wilson, who competed in the first race in 1957.
Check the Head of the Yarra website for the best viewing spots along the river, or join the lively finish carnival at Yarra Bank Reserve in Creswick Street, Hawthorn.
A great Melbourne day out – and completely free.
