Booragoon Men's Probus visits Denmark

22 Sep 2014

Members and friends of the Probus Club of Booragoon enjoyed a four-day getaway to Denmark on WA's south coast.

The group travelled by luxury coach and had a leisurely journey via Nannup where they stopped for a light lunch at the Templemore Tearooms. 

They visited the Golden Grape Gallery near Pemberton and arrived in Denmark to settle in at the motel before dinner. Each night they dined at the Southern End Restaurant high on the side of Mt Shadforth, and although it was too dark to see the spectacular view, they enjoyed the sumptuous meals and fine local wines.

The next day the group travelled to Walpole to take the WOW cruise on the Nornalup Inlet. Skipper Gary Muir held them spellbound with his stories about the ecology, wild life, history and intrigues of the Walpole area. It was a performance worthy of the Royal Academy and certainly one of the highlights of the getaway. 

Lunch at Thurlby Herb Farm was also memorable and of gourmet standard. They then travelled back to Denmark stopping at the Elephant Rock Cidery and Toffee Factory where they further indulged before driving to the coast to view the aptly named Elephant Rocks near Green’s Pool.

On the third day, they toured to the Mt Shadforth Lookout with its panoramic

views over the Wilson Inlet before returning to the Pentland Alpaca Farm to feed the animals and enjoy a DevonshireTea. It was then on to The Lake House Winery and Vinofood Gourmet Store where they enjoyed the impressive offering of wines, sauces and relishes prior to a delicious at the Boston Brewery and Willoughby Park Winery. Feeling satiated, we spent a leisurely afternoon exploring Denmark with a little retail therapy.
