Weston Park East and West beaches – water closed for primary contact – rowing

here.
Also note that there are high levels up the Molonglo River and it is closed
above the Silvia Curley Bridge.
All boats are to be in the marshalling area at Kings Ave Bridge at 5:45PM. We
need to get everyone through Central Basin before other boats get in the way, the
organisers have put us down as the first race so the water won’t be chopped
up too much for us. The race starts at 6:10pm and will be called live to the
crowd at Regatta Point. There are several other events going on around that time
and all crews are advised to keep a good lookout, there will be other users on
the lake in the vicinity who may not be used to rowers. The course
