REGISTER NOW to join the food packing event during RICON23 in the HOUSE OF FRIENDSHIP

Join us on an easy walking tour of some of Melbourne’s iconic landmarks, and at the same time raise awareness of Rotary’s number one humanitarian priority – the global eradication of poliomyelitis.

Soak up the pulsating excitement of Australia’s very own brand of Football - Australian Rules Football - first played in 1858. Join us on Saturday afternoon 27th May at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), a world recognized high-capacity Stadium previously the venue for the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. You will be captivated by the unique fast moving combined hand and foot skills and ability to catch (mark) an oval leather ball high in the air.

One of the things for which Melbourne is renowned is the Sand Belt of eight world-class golf courses, and one of them is Victoria Golf Club, site of the Australian Open in November 2022.  Because many Rotarians would enjoy the opportunity to play on such a course, we have arranged for a Rotary day at Victoria Golf Course on Friday 26th May 2023 (the convention starts on Sunday 28th May). 

Our fabulous welcome cultural event will be the chance to catch up with fellow Rotarians at one of Melbourne’s iconic venues – The Melbourne Museum. Experience the many exhibits to gain an understanding of Melbourne’s culture, including the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre and The Melbourne Story featuring Australia’s most famous horse and hero of the depression, Phar Lap whilst enjoying our special Victorian food and beverage offerings.

Share the evening with local Rotarians at a club-hosted event across metropolitan Melbourne. Club Hosted events will depart from your hotel, or one very close by, and you will be returned to the same point.  You do not have to select an event as they are randomly allocated, by hotel, and approved by the HOC.  Coach transfers are provided.
