We are the oldest established Rotary Club in the South Burnett Region of Queensland. 

We are constantly wanting to make positive changes in the lives of our communities and those further afield.
Our club members are dedicated individuals who share a common passion for community service and fellowship.
Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of people who all share a common urge to give back to others, those things we would want for ourselves yourself.
 
So, why don't you come along and help make a difference to others?

President’s Welcome
 
It is my pleasure to extend to you a warm welcome to our club’s web site.
I hope you enjoy reading about our club and the positive contributions it continually makes to the residents of the South Burnett.
This was recognised recently when the club was awarded “Best Community Organisation” in the 2022 Australia Day Awards. Our club continually “punches above its weight.”
If you are someone who enjoys the friendship of likeminded people, wishes to make a difference in the world and espouses the philosophy of “Service Above Self” then perhaps Rotary is for you.
 
Kerry Heit
President 2022/2023

The Spark Of Life
When the youth of our community come together to do good in the world, we feel wonderful sense of hope for the future and knowing that the future is looking brighter.
Every day we read see and hear about nothing but the news of pain and suffering in the world at large. Now days good news seems to be a rare and precious commodity indeed.
But then we hear of people wanting to help others. Young people, saying to the world "we can help. We will help and we want to help now".
These then are the youth that come together and form an INTERACT club in order to help others.

The Rotary Barbeque
 
 
The fundamental fund raiser for Rotary Clubs around the world must be the humble barbeque.
 
In so many places around the nation, so many people gather around the barbeque plate and enjoy the fruits of their labours while still enjoying the fellowship that flows naturally from this simple event. 
And so it was, at a recent event here in Kingaroy. Catering to hungry motor cyclists at a special educational event

The sausage sizzle, let do the right thing!
The Sausage sizzles, lets do the right thing.
 
 
There wouldn’t be a Australian Rotarian alive today that hasn’t been introduced to the art of the Sausage sizzle. It’s as synonymous with the Rotary brand as the golden gearwheel. The the aroma of onions and sausages frying wafting  on the breeze attracts people from far and wide. It simply cannot be ignored!
 
Every Weekend, all over this wonderful nation of ours, miles of sausages and truck loads of onions are brought together at the altars of the humble barbecue and are prepared and cooked to just the right degree of delicious perfection and offered up to our customers. To them we offered multiple choices of tomato, barbecue, mustered or Sweet Chilli sauces. Singularly or collectively to be added to the master piece that is the barbecued sausage on fresh bread smothered in caramelised onions
