In the 70s the Margaret River Rowing Club held Rowing Regattas on the Margaret River near Wallcliffe House.
Margaret River locals and visiting SW surfers met on the bank of the river to compete in the Regatta’s rowing boat and surfboard paddle races and enjoy a drink or two.
In 1978, photojournalist Ric Chan was there to cover the action in and out of the water for the Sunday Independent Newspaper and local surf magazines. Margaret River surfer Adrian Wilson also provided his recollections of the event.
