Melbourne Cup Day is Australia’s best known horse racing event. Since 1861 it has been held on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. It is an annual public holiday in the state of Victoria. This event, popularly dubbed as “the race that stops the nation”, is a 3,200 metre race for three-year-olds and over, is said to be the richest ‘two-mile’ handicap in the world and is one of the richest turf races. More than 100,000 people usually attend Flemington Racecourse, and the race is televised live to an audience of about 650 million people worldwide'. Did you know? The 1875 winner, Wollomai, came from Phillip Island?, (which is located around 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and is better known for its penguin colonies). In earlier days, prior to a ferry service between Phillip Island and San Remo, animals were swum across to the Narrows. It was thought that Wollomai had very little chance of winning, but jockey Bob Batty rode the horse to success, in a time of three minutes and thirty eight seconds, before a crowd of 70,000 people. The owner, John Cleeland, returned to Cape Woolomai with £22,000 pounds, having given the jockey and trainer £500 each. |

ZOOM Meeting For All, Camp Getaway
Feb 01, 2022
Camp Getaway caters for those of all abilities and mobility, provides a meeting place for support groups, and offers those who need it most a sanctuary away from their daily struggles. Whilst disability and related support groups have priority for booking dates, Camp Getaway welcomes bookings from family groups, church groups, clubs, special functions, business meetings, and recreational groups. All enquiries are welcome.
Located in Axedale in Victoria (15 minutes from Bendigo), the former youth camp has received a tremendous makeover in recent years - thousands of voluntary hours have already gone into redeveloping the site to create self contained units with full disabled facilities and two modern dormitories. Camp Getaway is the result of concerted fundraising by a number of Rotary clubs across Victoria. The donations and physical efforts of these Clubs have been invaluable.
Camp Getaway is a continuing project of the combined Rotary Clubs of District 9800. Ken Maxfield really is Mr Camp Getaway and has demonstrated Service above Self for over 20 years.

ZOOM, Meeting For All, 'The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders Read The Stars'
Feb 15, 2022
Duane Hamacher is Associate Professor of Cultural Astronomy in the School of Physics at the University of Melbourne. He earned graduate degrees in astrophysics and the social sciences and has appeared on TEDx, The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, and many other high profile local and international programs. He serves as an expert consultant for UNESCO and works for Indigenous elders in the Torres Strait and around the world to document traditional star knowledge for educational programs and public understanding.
The First Astronomers is the first book to reveal the rich knowledge of the stars and the planets held by First Peoples around the world. Our eyes have been drawn away from the skies to our screens. We no longer look to the stars to forecast the weather, predict the seasons or plant our gardens. Most of us cannot even see the Milky Way. But First Nations Elders around the world still maintain this knowledge, and there is much we can learn from them.
These Elders are expert observers of the stars. They teach that everything on the land is reflected in the sky, and everything in the sky is reflected on the land. How does this work, and how can we better understand our place in the universe? Beautiful, engaging, and startlingly profound.' - Alan Duffy, Professor of Astrophysics

(At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club), CEO Cottage By The Sea
Mar 01, 2022
Adam Wake joined Cottage by the Sea in June 2019 after 11 years managing the Lions Village Licola Inc (LVL). Prior to this, Adam held management roles in outdoor education in Australia and internationally. In addition to a valuable career in outdoor education, Adam holds a law & business degree, has experience in finance as a fund manager and training in mental health first aid, childhood trauma, child protection and a range of professional studies. His passion has and continues to be working to provide better life opportunities for children. He found a love of working for children in need when moved from commercially based camp programs to the not for profit sector finding more attention to the individual can be given in a charitable set up. We find more and more these days that children do not really fit one type or another instead having very specific individual needs. Adam has a wife and two great kids myself and a taste for outdoor adventure – partly driven out of working with kids: M.C.: President Andrew Crockett

At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, Our Esteemed Member David Corrigan
Mar 15, 2022
'David joined Rotary in 1963, and the Rotary Club of Hawthorn in November 1974. David served on the Club’s Board for several years including as Secretary, and he was Club President in 1982/83. Hs presidency is described in A History of the Rotary Club of Hawthorn, The First 40 Years: 1953-1993 in the following way. ‘David Corrigan was a president with an infectious sense of humour. Often when he had us laughing, a good dose of Rotary medicine went down with the humour. He was a great encourager, believing that ‘more flies are caught with molasses than vinegar’.
Maybe it is better to say that Rotary also is caught rather than taught. We caught a good deal of the best of it from David and his wife Helen. Alert to the value of additional active [sic] in bringing younger men with greater potential into Rotary, David had nominated his partner David Rush at the right age for him to go on in turn be [sic] one of our finest club presidents.’
David also served as the Club’s Serjeant and was a member of the committee which initiated the Club’s 75th anniversary project, the purchase of a property in Survey Street Richmond to house Vietnamese refugees. When the house was later sold the proceeds of sale were put into the Survey Street Trust Fund. David was also active on several Avenue of Service committees over the years'.
