Welcome to the Rotary Club of Morialta

We are a welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and fun-loving club, involved in a wide range of projects both locally and internationally - including our landmark midwifery training project in Papua New Guinea. We are an extremely active club - on a weekly basis, you will find our members building connections at our community workshop in Athelstone, operating the kiosk with a smile at the popular Thorndon Park Reserve, serving snags at community events, delivering community projects such as our Dementia Cafe, working with local schools to provide training and scholarships - and LOTS more besides.

 

We meet weekly in Magill and gather regularly for fellowship. Our club welcomes volunteers and new members who want to get involved in community and have some fun along the way.

Morialta is located in Adelaide's eastern suburbs, at the foot of the beautiful Adelaide Hills. The word 'Morialta' comes from the Kaurna word Mariyartala with Mari meaning 'east' and yertala meaning 'flowing water'.
 
Our club acknowledges that we meet on the traditional lands of the Kaurna People, and we pay respect to the culture, heritage, and continuing connection that the Kaurna people feel to their lands.

Rotary International has featured the Papua New Guinea Midwifery Leadership Buddy Program — supported by Rotary District 9510 — in a global story highlighting Rotary’s impact on maternal and child health. The story celebrates the partnership between Australian and PNG midwives, and the success of a mentorship model that strengthens leadership, builds local capacity, and improves outcomes for mothers and babies.

The Rotary Club of Morialta’s Duck Race returned to Thorndon Park on Sunday 1 February, and it delivered everything we hope for in a community event — strong attendance, great weather decisions, wonderful collaboration, and a meaningful outcome for charity.

All 3,400 ducks were sold, with the final tickets snapped up 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. After adjusting the event date and start time for the second year in a row due to heat, the decision paid off. Conditions were cooler and safer, and the park welcomed an estimated 1,500–1,800 people across the afternoon.
