Travel Group's Eildon trip - Thursday 31st May

31/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Our regular meeting in May was concentrated on our future “destinations” with some good practical input from members.

Our May bus trip to Eildon was a great day with Peter Brown volunteering to drive the bus. Thank you Peter.

First stop was at the Yark Bakery then on to the mountains for a scenic drive up to Foggs Lookout on Mt Pinnager. Back down we drove over the wall at Eildon to our picnic spot at the Lions Club Barbeque facility right on the pondage where Brian officiated as Head Chef. Lunch was very pleasant and relaxing.

​Henry, who went fishing, said “he threw his fish back” but we don’t believe that!

Another scenic drive got us up to the power stations at Rubicon and return to Alexandra for a quick browse through the bookshop and coffee, and cake of course.

Pleasant day with great company and barely a silent moment.

The next outing is to the Vine Hotel in Wangaratta on Saturday 30th June for lunch. We will take the bus again if enough people to fill it.
