The Probus Club of Ulladulla and Districts 2017 Major Tour was an eight-night Queensland Reef Adventure Cruise on board the Voyager of the Seas.

The 40 adventurers began their trip began with a bus trip to Sydney, where they boarded the cruise. From there, they travelled to Brisbane where some members took part in an organised shore excursion, exploring the city while others enjoyed a relaxing day on board.

The final stop was Willis Island, the only permanently inhabited island in the Coral Sea Islands Territory, located beyond the Great Barrier Reef. The three people on the island work at the Bureau of Meteorology weather station. The group enjoyed learning about life on the island, including the diverse and unique wildlife.

While all group members enjoyed the beautiful and fascinating stops on the cruise, many said that a highlight was the opportunity to spend time with other Probus members. As one member said, “The company was wonderful and we would easily spend two hours over dinner.” She added that it was lovely to come across a “familiar smiling face” as she moved around the ship.
