Fourth Creek is always a great place to keep clean. You could start near Stradbroke Rd and work downstream? Some of these areas can be a bit steep or rocky underfoot so you would need to be careful. Dogs are allowed in the area but they must be on leash, as they are in most areas. 

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The 2025 theme is Accelerate Action.

🌟 Robin LeGallez

Robin LeGallez is one of Rotary District 9510’s most quietly brilliant enablers — a powerhouse of behind-the-scenes know-how and all-round good humour. A proud member of the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge, Robin’s local club service has been vast, from vocational projects to youth initiatives — but it’s his District-level impact that makes him stand out.

For years, Robin has been the go-to person for everything ClubRunner — keeping clubs connected, websites humming, and our data tidy and accessible. His disciplined approach has helped countless club officers navigate the system (and saved more than a few secretaries from late-night meltdowns!).

Robin’s also been instrumental in training new presidents, onboarding club executives, and ensuring our Rotary systems are secure, smooth, and ready for the future. His steady leadership, patient mentoring, and readiness to help at the drop of a hat embody what it means to serve above self — with a gentle smile and a twinkle that says, “Don’t worry, we’ll get it sorted.”

If you ever wonder who keeps our District digital backbone strong — it’s Robin, working tirelessly to make Rotary easier for everyone, so we can spend less time fighting tech and more time changing lives.

John Gardner has been the Member for Morialta in the South Australian House of Assembly since 2010. He rose to prominence as Minister for Education (2018–2022), spearheading reforms such as moving Year 7 into secondary school, introducing phonics checks, and keeping schools open during COVID-19 with minimal disruption. In April 2022, he became Deputy Leader of the South Australian Liberal Party.

Following a health scare in August 2024, which led to an all-clear after melanoma surgery, Gardner announced in December that he’ll step down at the 2026 election to focus on family life
