Robinson McLaren, the publican and his brother took a punt that was moored up there, pushed it out, and they decided they could move rowing from Burrumbeet to Lake Wendouree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The swamp started to dry up in 1865. Reeds were burnt off before \u201cserious\u201d floods in late-1869. In 1870, Lake Wendouree refilled and was a \u201cperfect sheet\u201d of water for rowing.<\/p>\n<p>In November of 1870, a notice was printed in the newspaper inviting potential rowers to express interest in joining Ballarat City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a boatshed there that had been built by the Alabama Rowing Club which folded, so they rented that, moved in, and the club\u2019s been on that site ever since, with a few changes of shed,\u201d Mrs Elliott said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70468\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-70468\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/Members-1899-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Club members, and dogs, outside the rowing shed in 1899.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A BCRC crew was sent to the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australianrowinghistory.com.au\/interstate-championships\/01-early-history.php\">Intercolonial Fours Race<\/a> in Footscray, 1873.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the colonies sent crews. We were a brand-new club and had only been going for two years. Sydney were the favourites in the press, but it turned out City came second to Melbourne Rowing Club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe course on the Yarra was four miles. They\u2019d never rowed in anything like it, but were presented with silver cups for coming second, only 10 seconds behind Melbourne,\u201d Mrs Elliott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were a new club and they almost won the Intercolonial Fours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the 1880s, captain Peter Cazaly \u2013 the great uncle of footballer, Roy Cazaly \u2013 coached all crews in the club\u2019s most successful, pre-federation years.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of silverware was won, including the Sunbury Challenge Cup in 1884 for Senior Fours at Ballarat Regatta.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70470\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70470\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-70470\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/mems-1911-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Suits meet zooties as members soak up the sun in 1911.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnother highlight came in the 1920s when we had three rowers in the King\u2019s Cup eight in Western Australia, which was amazing,\u201d Mrs Elliott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Ballarat eight challenged the selected eight for the state crew, and beat them, so three members of our club got to go to WA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1950, the rowing shed built in 1932 burnt down.
