General Information for Rotary Friendship Exchange Participants
ROTARY District 9640 Australia
D9640 is a very beautiful part of Australia straddling two states – southern Queensland and north eastern New South Wales. Comprising 1240 Rotarians in 54 clubs our district is 250km from north to south and 400km east to west covering a total area of 80 000 sq km.
Our district includes a diversity of landscapes, climate, industries and of course, Rotary clubs. On the east, it is bound by the south Pacific coastal strip of some of the best surf beaches in Australia from the famous Gold Coast in the north to Grafton in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.
The adjacent hinterland contains subtropical rainforests in world heritage listed National Parks. Our district includes tablelands of the Great Dividing Range, New England tablelands and Granite Belt and contain peaks to 1200 metres. Western slopes extend to Goondiwindi and contain the headwaters of the giant Murray-Darling River system.
