The program is a 12-month exchange of secondary school students sponsored by local and overseas Rotary clubs.
Klara will stay with a number of Berwick Rotarians and their families during her year-long stay in Australia.
The 15-year-old knows five foreign languages and enjoys outdoors activities such as scouting, hiking and mountain bike riding.
She has started school at Beaconhills Secondary College in Pakenham.
