Halls of fame

26 May 2021

Fifty members of the Probus Club of Ballarat South returned after a wonderful week together at Halls Gap.

They stayed at the NRMA Big4 Halls Gap Park in caravans, cabins and even a tent! The staff were very helpful at all times, and members even had the use of their big hall for happy hours and other functions.

During the day they were kept busy with mini-golf, many walks, olive oil tastings, “real” golf (with the kangaroos) and sightseeing. They visited the Halls Gap Zoo on the wettest day of the week, but all enjoyed it a lot. The animals and birds were amazing, and the zoo is so well looked after.

On other days they visited various other places in the Wimmera. Members were impressed with the Stick Shed (National Heritage listed cultural icon) in Murtoa, and also the Round Tower Museum there.

They had Happy Hour most nights, and meals at many local hotels and restaurants. Members also had a BBQ night, pizza night, movie night, and all enjoyed the card game “Scumbag” on another night.

Thanks must go to members Raelene and Ian who organised the trip, and all are looking forward to the next trip in the spring.
