Our story
To be part of Amaroo Club is to be part of something special. Something that’s authentic. That’s been created from a shared life’s journey with all its many twists and turns.
Our life's journey began at Amaroo Court.
Hurtling down our driveway, side hitched as brothers on our skateboards, we remember the exhilaration as we flew down Amaroo Court…travelling only at top speed as you did when you were a kid. Unaware of the risks. Having maximum fun!
Playing footy matches with teams constructed from the boys and girls from all of the houses, turning the only grassed paddock into a first class BMX track for racing, 3 on 3 basketball games, test cricket over the entire weekend, chalking a tennis court on the bitumen to play our best of 5 sets, chipping golf balls across one nature strip to the next trying to emulate the pros to stop the ball on a dime. Playing ‘Rocco’ and watching all the kids scatter into the backyards, hiding, to make the final rush to the square for safety.
The days as kids seemed endless fun at Amaroo Court – a community. A beautiful place.
The third bedroom of our family home became the beginning of a magical and meaningful journey in business and in life. Our growth was personal and collective. We were a true family business; inclusive, collaborative, together – always aiming to live our values of professional, ethical, grateful and respectful. Our family community grew with us, and like a rolling snowball, we expanded – sharing, learning, failing, succeeding – always willing to endure, dream, as we did when we were kids starting out on our journey at Amaroo.
Together with Tim, we created Amaroo Club to capture this exhilaration and life’s journey as we transition through all stages; embracing the successes, failings and learnings. It’s a safe and nurturing place to dream, care, be vulnerable, be renewed, grow, share, support, mentor and give back. Where you can give yourself permission to learn, have fun, connect, create personal wellbeing and translate all of this to your family, business and community.
It’s another chapter in our story together; not just in the name but how our shared Foundation – now known as Amaroo Foundation – will serve as the nominated charity of Amaroo Club. Formally the Camp Australia Foundation and Phillips Brothers Foundation, we have aligned the Club and Foundation name and activities for synergy. For over 20 years we have been fortunate to give back to underprivileged children and communities, providing primary school education locally, nationally and internationally. Amaroo Club is designed to be a vehicle to help us continue on this journey, where together we can help those less fortunate.
Please join with us as we all share in the twists and turns of business and in life within ‘a beautiful place’ – Amaroo Club.
