  • The District Encompasses Central Victoria and the Lower Part of Central New South Wales
    The District encompasses central Victoria and the lower part of central New South Wales. It extends north to Deniliquin, across to Holbrook, Corryong and south to Melbourne's northern suburbs from Heidelberg to Eltham in the east and Sunbury in the west. Rotary District 9790, Australia consists of 61 Clubs and approximately 1800 members. The Rotary Club of Albury is the oldest in the District, being admitted to Rotary International on 2nd November, 1927. In 1927 the District system was first introduced and Albury was in District 65, the territory being the whole of Australia. Other Clubs of our present District followed; Corowa (July) 1939 and Benalla (November) 1939, Wangaratta 1940, Euroa and Yarrawonga-Mulwala 1946, and Shepparton 1948. In 1949 District 65 became District 28, being Tasmania, part of Victoria east of longitude 144 Degrees and part of New South Wales. Deniliquin came in 1950, Wodonga 1953, Myrtleford, Cobram and Seymour 1954 and Heidelberg and Coburg 1956. In 1957 Districts were renumbered and District 28 became District 280, then came Numurkah 1957, Bright and Finley 1959, Kyabram and Preston 1960, Tatura and Broadmeadows 1962, Albury North and Nathalia 1963, Tallangatta and Mooroopna 1964, followed by Alexandra and Thomastown in 1966, Mansfield and Corryong 1967, Greenborough 1968, Reservoir 1969, Albury West 1970 and Appin Park 1972 (now Appin Park Wangaratta). On July 1, 1972 District 280 was divided into two, and the above Clubs became the new District 279. Since then the following Clubs have been admitted to Rotary International: Kilmore/Broadford (1972) (now Southern Mitchell); Sunbury, Eltham, Beechworth and Heidelberg North (1973) (now Rosanna); Shepparton South and Belvoir-Wodonga (1974); Fawkner (1975); Pascoe Vale (1976); Strathmore-Gladstone Park (1977) (now Strathmore), Albury Hume and Healesville (1977); Shepparton Central (1983); Wodonga West (1984); Tocumwal, Lavington, Craigieburn, Holbrook and Mount Beauty (1985); Jerilderie, Yea and Bellbridge Lake Hume (1986); Rutherglen, Bundoora and Nagambie (1987).

  • (PURCHASE LIMIT REPEAL) BILL 2019 Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications February 2019
    SUBMISSION TO THE INQUIRY INTO THE WATER AMENDMENT (PURCHASE LIMIT REPEAL) BILL 2019 Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications February 2019 1. THE RICEGROWERS’ ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA The Ricegrowers’ Association of Australia (RGA) is the collective voice of Australian rice growers representing the interests of around 1200 voluntary members. The RGA’s key objective is to provide members with strong and effective representation on issues affecting the viability of their businesses, communities and industry. The RGA is made up of eight branches located across the Riverina rice growing regions of NSW and Victoria. Each branch annually elects representatives to form the RGA Central Executive. The Central Executive represents their respective branches in determining RGA policy and projects. The RGA is a member of the National Farmers’ Federation, National Irrigators’ Council and NSW Irrigators’ Council, and supports the submissions and positions provided by these organisations. 2. THE AUSTRALIAN RICE INDUSTRY The Australian rice industry is located predominantly within the Riverina region of NSW, with two small industries also situated in the Northern Rivers region of NSW and in Northern Queensland. The Australian rice industry is reliant upon irrigation sourced from the Murray and Murrumbidgee valleys. Provided water is available, the Australian rice industry is considered one of the world’s most successful, delivering significant yields while leading the world in water use efficiency. The rice industry is also an important economic contributor to the Riverina region of NSW. The towns of Griffith, Leeton, Coleambally, Finley, Jerilderie, Deniliquin, Wakool and Moulamein are highly dependent on rice production for their social and economic wellbeing.

  • The Route Taken by Ned Kelly and His Gang to and from Jerilderie, and The
    Route taken by Ned Kelly and his gang from the Victorian border to Jerilderie, and return. Local historian Councillor Laurie Henery of Jerilderie has spent countless hours pouring over maps of the original Station boundaries, the tracks that traversed those Stations, and sub-division maps that provided for settlement which occurred under what was commonly known as the Robertson Land Act of 1876. From those studies, and taking into account traditional stories handed down through generations of families, Cr Henery has produced the map displayed on the front cover which he believes best describes the route taken by Ned Kelly and his gang, when they crossed the Murray River on their way to Jerilderie to have the now famous “Jerilderie Letter” printed, relieve the local branch of the Bank of NSW of £2141, and their return to Victoria. The local Schoolmaster at Jerilderie, William Elliott, was an unwilling assistant in the bank robbery and while being held hostage in the adjacent Royal Mail Hotel, fell into discussion with Joe Byrne as to how the gang arrived at Jerilderie. In 1885 Elliott resigned from the Education Department and purchased the local newspaper, the Jerilderie Herald and Urana Advertiser. From personal diaries kept at the time to prompt his memory, William Elliott published in his paper in serial form from 4 July 1913 to 3 April 1914 his account of the raid on Jerilderie by Ned Kelly and his gang, on 8, 9 & 10 February 1879. In chapter 3 of Elliott’s account he recalls his discussion with Joe Byrne:- “they crossed the river at a point about half way between Mulwala and Tocumwal.” Elliott goes on to write:- “They [the Kelly gang] rode in a northerly direction to the boundary of Barooga and Berrigan [Stations], some four or five miles to the west of the William Elliott present township of Berrigan, but which at that time was a thick, scrubby forest.
