Hat Day fundraiser for Mental Health

A portion of the 'mob' at Monday's Club Meeting. A good time was had by all! Overall winner, David, second from left - plus friends. The event raised $240 and the Board may see fit to add to this amount.

Burnie Rotary Club members are boosters for Burnie. Why? Click on the thumbnails below for some views. Fernglade is a beautiful picnic spot on the Emu River, just two km from the City Centre, and is a favourite haunt of the Platypus: We can often see them foraging in the river at dusk. The Rotary Club holds a barbecue meeting there in January. Burnie is also home to countless families of penguins and we can look into some burrows.
