March highlight: a Coach Trip to Wangaratta
29 Probus members enjoyed a wonderful six-day coach holiday to Wangaratta. We stayed in lovely accommodation and each day visited local attractions such as historic towns of Glenrowan, Bright and Beechworth, cruised Lake Mulwala, enjoyed wine tastings in King Valley and Rutherglen regions, local produce experiences and opportunities to explore, relax and socialise.
The trip was a great example of what Probus is all about: friendship, fun and discovery. New members are always welcome, and with many more outings and trips planned.
