Spot our historic information signs as you travel along the Wollondilly River and Mulwaree River Walkways.

We are proud to continue to develop these signs, with the help of our research friends at History Goulburn and with the support of our friends at Goulburn Mulwaree Council.

As proud Rotarians we love Goulburn Australia and the beauty of our fine City, and it is our greatest pleasure to volunteer our time for the community we know and love.

Rotarians- we do a lot, have a lot of fun, and encourage you to come and find out who we are and why we do it. We’d love to hear from you.

📚💙 That’s a wrap on the Rotary Goulburn Charity Book Fair!

A huge thank you to our wonderful community for the overwhelming support – from the generous book donations to the thousands who came through the doors to browse, buy, and back Rotary. Every dollar raised will go straight into supporting local and global Rotary projects.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors and supporters, who make the Book Fair possible and help us stretch every dollar further by reducing our operational costs:

🙏 Kennards Hire Goulburn for the forklift & pallet jack hire
🙏 Barnett's Transport for the loan of a truck for bump in & bump out - our backs thank you!
🙏 Cameron Buchanan for donating pallets for our books
🙏 Neil Campbell our #1 forklift operator
🙏 Goulburn Show for the lend of your many tables
🙏 Goulburn Mulwaree Council for their venue hire support
🙏 Our good friend Thom from Oh CDs for his book donations & sponsorship.

Your generosity and community spirit mean the world. Together, we’ve given thousands of books a new life and raised funds to do even more good. Until next time – thank you, Goulburn! 💙📚

P.S Watch this space for dates for our next book fair, in the first half of 2026!

We’re so proud to be part of this wonderful program. Shout out to our friends at Goulburn Mulwaree Library and The Lieder Theatre for the incredible work they do with this program, and for our community.

Seven local young writers, aged 9-12 years, nominated by their schools, have worked tirelessly in the Library to develop and write short stage plays. Through mentor relationships with professional writers, illustrators, actors, and musicians, our Mighty Playwrights are creating some amazing stories...

🙌✨ Special Visit – Kristy McBain ✨🙌

We were delighted to welcome McBain MP as a guest speaker. Kristy’s journey into politics isn’t your typical career path — she’s dynamic, down-to-earth and refreshingly real.

Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, it’s hard not to admire her energy, authenticity and commitment to community. Thanks for dropping by Kristy! 👏

⚖️✨ Guest Speaker Highlight ✨⚖️

We were thrilled to welcome Magistrate Tim Khoo as a guest speaker recently. With his wealth of experience in law and justice, Tim shared fascinating insights that had us all listening closely (and asking plenty of questions!).

A big thank you to Tim for joining us — it’s always inspiring to hear from leaders who are making such a difference in our community.

💙🐴 Rotary Helping Where It Counts 🐴💙

Rotary Club of Goulburn is proud to support our friends at Goulburn Centre RDA NSW with a $2,000 donation to help purchase much-needed pasture hay for their 10 therapy horses.

After a dry winter, the Centre is having to buy in extra hay to keep these incredible horses healthy and happy. And it’s worth it - the RDA team does such great and important work, providing life-changing opportunities for children and adults with disabilities, and support for so many through equine-assisted therapy.

We’re proud to lend a hand (and a bale!) to help keep this vital program going strong.

A safe, dry place to sleep shouldn’t be a luxury.

Goulburn Rotary is proud to donate another 10 swags to Anglicare to support those in our community sleeping rough. It’s a small gesture, but one we hope brings warmth, dignity and comfort on cold winter nights.

Pictured: Rotary President Bruce and Toni from Anglicare – two champions of community care.

Rotary is all about people helping people. Thank you to Anglicare for the vital work you do every day.
