Led by a Rotarian, this team comprised two primary teachers, a police officer and a non-profit service agency director. The Team was in Australia for 6 weeks, hosted by Gippsland Rotary Clubs. They made vocational and general visits, and the trip culminated with their presentations to the Annual District 9820 Conference at Philip Island. A team from Gippsland spent 6 weeks in Kansas.
