Million Dollar Hole in One – Click to View
Welcome to our website
We were the first and remain the largest Rotary club in the Northern Territory.
The Rotary Club of Darwin prides itself on contributing to local, national and international projects and sponsorships. In addition, we sponsor a number of Northern Territory awards and functions including the Hugh Bradley Award for Legal Studies, the Ian MacGregor English Award, Indigenous Health Scholarships and the BEAT school spectacular. We also raise funds for our Rotary Youth Sports Foundation.
In 2023-24, we intend continuing our efforts in these important areas and will explore how we might develop new projects, particularly for supporting youth, whilst continuing to fund raise for our regular commitments. In this space, we operate the famous Chocolate Wheel at the Royal Darwin Show each year as well as running the Million Dollar Hole-in-One at the Gardens Golf Course. ‘Bali Vibe’ brings the Indonesian spirit to Darwin, this event is run in cooperation with the Darwin Surf Life Saving Club and is one of those rare events that is run in the Wet Season.
We continue to develop local ‘hands on’ community projects that emphasise the heart and the mind and follow Rotary’s seven areas of focus. During the next few years, our primary focus will be on supporting our local community including the community of Belyuen.
It is important to note that we remain a men-only club, but we warmly welcome all Rotarians and visitors to our meetings. We are active agents for the promotion of Men’s well-being, especially Men’s Mental Health and Prostate Cancer, through fundraising, education and providing support to sufferers. There are other mixed Rotary clubs in the Darwin area including Darwin North, Darwin South, Darwin Sunrise and Litchfield/Palmerston. Details of how to contact these clubs for a visit or membership can be found on our website below or on our Facebook page.
Our club believes in having a good time. We are famous for wearing our loud Hawaiian shirts, fishing trips and boisterous meetings. So why not come along and enjoy our hospitality on Thursday evenings at 6pm at the Novotel Atrium hotel on the Esplanade. Please note that we also enjoy many away meetings, so ensure you check with us if you are intending to visit so as to ascertain where we will be.
Please feel free to learn more about us by exploring our award-winning website or find us on Facebook and enjoy what Rotary has to offer, as we do.
