We moved the Flying Doctor Rowathon to September to beat the heat. Over the past years, the weather around Wentworth/Mildura in October has been getting hotter which has made rowing a 70-80Km distance more difficult and dangerous, so we have moved the event to September which is on average 4-5C cooler. But in 2022 we didn't count on the flooding river system.

In 2019 crews passed through lock 11 on the Murray below Mildura and had a great experience doing so. It was a highlight of the day.
In 2022 the course was to take rowers through locks 10 and 9 but due to the flooding river system, the course was changed to start at Apex Park, Mildura. See photos on the Photo Gallery - 2022 page.
