2026 Wharf to Woolshed Long Row
Highlights
- Row upstream for 36km from Renmark Wharf to Woolshed Brewery, enjoying stunning views and unique wildlife along the way.
- Experience the calm, clear sunny days of winter, perfect for a leisurely row with minimal river traffic.
- Savour locally made goods at the Woolshed Brewery, housed in a charming converted shearing shed on the River Murray.
- Join crews from across South Australia and beyond, celebrating a blend of sport, culture, and the great outdoors.
The Renmark Rowing Club looks forward to welcoming crews from across South Australia, interstate and overseas to the 2026 Wharf to Woolshed Long Row.
Typically held on the closest weekend to Winter Solstice, the event is open to all rowing boat classes. Crews will follow a 36km course upstream from the Renmark Wharf to the Woolshed Brewery at Murtho. Cruise past the popular sandstone Headings Cliffs and be captivated by the unique wildlife along this stretch of river.
A perfect blend of sporting, environmental and cultural tourism, this event is a unique way to see this stretch of the river – one stroke at a time!
The Woolshed Brewery is located north of Renmark and provides a truly unique Riverland experience. It is located on a picturesque backwater of the River Murray. The brewery itself is an old shearing shed, now turned brewery, which offers a range of brews and a selection of locally made goods to create your own platter.
Whilst the Riverland can experience some quite frosty nights in the winter months, we are blessed with calm, clear and sunny days at this time of year. Crews will be delighted to have the river to themselves with minimal traffic.
