Novice rowers put their skills to the test at Bunbury Rowing Club’s Zero to Hero Regatta on November 17. Five quad teams trained for five weeks ahead of the event, which aimed to encourage more people to try their hand at the sport. The morning of races ended with an exhibition race between a rowing eight and a dragon boat – with the former taking the victory.
