QUENTIN GORE

The Murray Bridge Men’s Eight Rowing Crew represented Australia in the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. They where known as the Cods, because they raced with a dried cod attached to the bow of their boat.

​

The Cods’ story is one of working-class men from a small community who were great friends and worked hard together. They defied class prejudice and lack of money to become champions.

​

This memorial located adjacent to the present day rowing club in Sturt Reserve, Murray Bridge on the Murray River is a tribute to their story and achievements against all odds!
