Eighteen Probus members recently toured Tasmania in a jam packed itinerary of twelve days. This map shows where they went. They discovered highlights at each place.

 

 

 

 

 

The group walked amongst spectacular scenery, ate amazing seafood and drinks.

They experienced amazing rides such as the:

1. Wilderness West Coast historic train ride
2. Gordon River cruise
3. High speed Tasman Sea boat cruise to see the Australia’s tallest sea stacks

The group encountered plenty of wildlife and learnt about the conservation program for Tasmanian devils and fairy penguins.

They heard the penal history of Macquarie Harbour, Sarah Island and Port Arthur as well as the Beaconsfield Mine disaster and so much more.

Gilda McRobert
President

 

Two weeks ago an email was sent to members regarding the 2023 management committee specifically the roles of Secretary and Junior Vice President.

There has been no response whatsoever.

There are 250 members in this Club and it appears there is not one member prepared to volunteer for the Secretary and Junior Vice President positions.

Our Club is obliged to have a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary to function.

The current position as it stands now has serious implications for the future of our Club.

I ask all members to seriously think about the position of our Club and consider being part of a vital and energetic committee.

If you have any questions, please click here to contact Gilda McRobert or click here to contact Geoff Barnsley.
