About Masters
Surrounded by place names such as ‘Paradise’, ‘Promised Land’ and ‘Nowhere Else’, Lake Barrington is a beautiful venue to host the 2024 Australian Masters Rowing Championships. Situated in Northern Tasmania the 20km long lake is a world class rowing course having hosted the 1990 World Rowing Championships.
The Lake Barrington International Rowing Course (LBIRC) offers rowers a serene and peaceful place in which to compete - no noisy highways, built-up areas or houses to distract competitors from the task at hand - to perform to your best.
With four days of fierce competition on water and opportunities to socialise with new and old friends off water and to experience Tasmanian hospitality - what's not to like?
An easy 45-minutes drive from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal in Devonport, or just over an hour from Launceston through the pretty countryside brings you to the sight of impressive Mt Roland and Sheffield, the town of murals. LBIRC is only 20 minutes away past Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot.
The area offers a variety of accommodation, cafes, restaurants, vineyards, and craft shops. Iconic Cradle Mountain National Park with stunning Dove Lake at its feet is only an hour away and offers walking trails to suit everybody or pick up local products to picnic and enjoy the scenery.
Tasmania in May is cool with daytime temperatures in the mid-high teens but is usually settled with clear days and blue skies. Autumn is a beautiful time of year to road trip around the State, the colours are turning on the trees and the opportunity for fantastic photography abounds. With the major tourist season over there are no crowds and you can enjoy nature at your leisure, whether that’s the rugged West Coast or the idyllic East Coast. Add a couple of weeks on to your visit to enjoy our wonderful Island and all it has to offer.
Rowing Tasmania and the Organising Committee of AMRC 2024 welcome you to the best rowing venue in Australia (at least that's what we think). We will be working hard to make your Tassie experience a memorable one.
