Geoff’s membership of Lions lapsed when he moved to Laos in 1990 where the one-party Communist country, at that time, did not allow the presence of non-Government organisations.

What we do
Lions Australia has a proud history of achievement in Disaster and Emergency Relief, Medical Research and Community Service. We were at the coalface for Cyclone Tracy, the Black Saturday bushfires and the Queensland/NSW floods.
More recently, we were involved with purchasing portable sawing mills that are used to saw fallen trees caused by 2019 bushfires on East Gippsland properties to be used by farmers for rebuilding fences and farm buildings.
We assist with local community fundraising for special causes and help with the development and building of local parks, community venues, and sporting centres.
