The team spent part of the day shopping at a large mall in Diamond Creek, Westfield – Doncaster. With more than enough shops and a corresponding variety to satisfy everyone’s shopping habits, the team managed to assist the Australian economy and hopefully not exceed the weight limits of the luggage for the trip to the US on Sunday.
Spending the remainder of the day with host families, the team reunited at Ashton Manor for the evening meeting of the Diamond Creek. The team was honored by the presence of District 9790 Governor Nominee, Allan Christensen and his wife, District 9790 GSE Coordinator Don Hamilton and Anne, and other Rotarians from the team’s first host club, Ivanhoe, Collin Hay and Katy Richmond and Clive and Judy Mottram. With many pictures being recorded for the evening’s events, the team said farewell to a group of Rotarians that have provided vocational, educational, and cultural experiences that have been most fulfilling and meaningful. On Friday the team makes its long awaited trip to see the penguins march at dusk on Phillips Island and then on Saturday it’s footy time at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds. Team member, Ryan Jensen, is ready with his Collingwood jersey.
