Australian Championships (2012) Competitors were represented from all eight states with 106 clubs either competing in their own right or providing competitors for the State competition. This is the largest representation of Australian competitors in the history of dragon boating in Australia.
Australian Championships (2012) Approximately 43% of competitors were 50 years or older however the statistics illustrate the growth of the sport in the 40 and younger age bracket. This is the first time AusDBF has had access to these types of statistics due to the introduction of the database.
