Enjoying a week in Canberra

09 Sep 2024

Torquay Zeally Bay Probus Club went on a tour to Canberra recently.

Thirty-one members gathered early in the morning to catch a coach from Victoria to Canberra for a week of rest and relaxation.

The group organised several tours and their coach driver, Justin, also took them on a few excursions that were not on the itinerary.

One of the highlights was visiting the Australian Institute of Sport. Two guides took the group through the complex to witness where and how Australia’s best athletes train for the events on the big stage.

Another highlight was visiting the National Archives of Australia where old posters lay on the walls of all sorts of Government records.

Sadly, the week passed far too quickly. So, after breakfast on Thursday, bags were packed, final goodbyes to the hotel staff were done, and the group left Canberra and travelled back to Torquay.

Everybody enjoyed themselves during the stay. There were zero complaints and all agreed that the accommodation with swimming pool and spa was very relaxing.
