Werribee Zoo was an exciting day trip with Benalla Buslines for the few who attended.
 
At our last meeting we heard stories from Jan Brown’s recent trip to the UK. Scotland and Ireland. Then from Jennifer Campbell on her tour of China (including efforts to climb the 
Great Wall) and the good weather there. Malcom Sanders had some great tips on self navigating the water canals in UK which was all fascinating to listen to.
 
Finally Brian Greed gave us some advice on booking on the net, cheap cruises and affordable package bus tours. Well done all.
 
Sadly, this was our last meeting of Travel Group with quite a few of us going to keep in touch informally next year and hopefully share some travel together.

It has been an interesting year and the program was a good try out. I thank everyone for your attendance, input and the chance to share good company in various places.

We will get together soon for a Christmas lunch locally and I wish you all a safe Christmas and some exciting adventures in your travels in the future.

​This month we welcomed Angela and Rosa to our group. Both ladies are on a mission to get out there a bit more.  Rosa gave us an entertaining glimpse at what it’s like to actually work on a cruise ship and Stella has been “up the coast practising to live out of a suitcase” in readiness for her next big trip on The Ghan.  Dave and Rhonda are having their weekend in Melbourne soon and Henry is back and had some more “big fish” tales to tell about his winter sojourn up north. 

October 17th will be our last travel group meeting at the U3A rooms and the last opportunity to discuss the South Africa details.  For anyone still interested in the South Africa trip in about July or August next year the cut-off date for booking and deposits is the end of October.  After that we are planning a local dinner get-together before the Christmas obligations are upon us all.
Happy travels!
