Unley Club

The last stop on our journey with Rotary was to the Unley club. Our first day included a drive to Camp Coorong, an aboriginal educational site where we had the privilege of meeting with Ngarrindgeri elders, learning about native plants (which included tasting a few of them) and visiting their museum filled with historical artifacts.

The next day began with a tour of the Migration museum, which provided a fascinating insight into the history of immigrants in Australia. From the museum, we headed to a Melbourne Cup lunch to watch “the race that stops the nation.” While none of us may were familiar with the different horses, it didn’t take long for us to get into the festive spirit…we all purchased sweeps tickets, and Candice sported her race-day hat.

After one last vocational day, we gave our last formal presentation to just over 100 Rotarians from the Unley and surrounding clubs.
