Surf’s Up!
16 December 2009
Families holidaying on the New South Wales South Coast over the New Years break will have the chance to witness the toughest surf Boat challenges in Australia.
In 1797, CMDR George Bass charted the coast from Sydney to Westernport in an old whale boat. He and his crew of just 6 made the trip in less than 2 months.
Today, the George Bass Surfboat race brings together male and female crews from around the country, in a gruelling 180 kilometre event, commencing in Batemans Bay on 3 January 2010 and finishing seven days later in Eden.
The Sail Training Ship Young Endeavour will also be in attendance during the final days in a show of support for the teams.
