The impressive Jane Robinson started rowing in her 20's after spending her early years competing on horseback.  Her first foray into water sports was canoeing and she saw the light of rowing and the rest is history!  Jane quickly developed her rowing and moved to Canberra, representing Australia from 1996-2004, in Quad Sculls, Double Sculls, Fours and Eights.  She is a triple Olympian and multiple World Champion.  Jane continues in the sport as Director of Rowing at Korowa and is greatly admired by her Melbourne club mates.
