ABOUT The ‘Austrian Club Geelong’ was founded in 1972, with Toni Baart, Rudi Hochreiter and Rudi Janda the driving forces behind inauguration. In February that year all the Austrians in the Geelong area were invited to the inaugural meeting. Subsequently an enthusiastic and optimistic group of Austrians elected the first management committee with Rudi Hochreiter the first President. In the early years all club functions and activities were held in rented premises. The first club rooms were established in 1974 at 99 Little Malop Street in the city. Five years later these were improved and enlarged. As the club grew, the desire to have a club house also increased. Then in 1986 the members decided to lease land from the ‘Shire of Corio’ for the purpose of having a club house built. In 1988 the club house was completed and a liquor license was obtained one year later. The Austrian Club of Geelong now has 280 members and is proud to be able to hold all its club functions in their own premises. It is to the credit of the Austrians in the Geelong area, who have, through their hard work, commitment, enthusiasm and generous contributions, made it all possible.
