Only in Melbourne
Take your pick of exclusive and private events planned for the Rotary International Convention, highlighting Melbourne’s culture, sports, and hospitality. Just-for-Rotary experiences include world-class golfing, special access to a waterfront restaurant district, and a convention favorite: dinner at a Rotary member’s home.
Golfers who get to town ahead of the 27-31 May convention can attend a Rotary day at Victoria Golf Club, one of eight courses in the Melbourne Sandbelt, known for beautiful layouts on sandy soil ideal for the game. Proceeds from the outing 26 May go to polio eradication.
