Our Club Symbol....... 
 
Our club symbol, which you can find at the top of the Bulletin on the left hand side under the Rotary logo, is an interpretation of the word "Nunawading".
 
It shows a Cobb and Co. coach, recognising the relevance of Nunawading as a staging post for coaches in transit from Melbourne to Lilydale in the late 1800's.
 
The boomerang ties in the name Nunawading with its Aboriginal origin and is sketched to also portray Whitehorse Road extending towards the Southern Cross.
 
The overall symbol and its title gives the feeling of one being on the threshold and that mans future is lying before him, even to the stars
 
Thanks to Bob Hoskins for supplying the explanation
