Full steam ahead
25 Feb 2019
A combined away trip to Yarrawonga in Victoria for the “Linga Longa in Yarrawonga Tour” was undertaken by Conder-Lanyon and Greenway Probus Clubs from the ACT.
The tour included two paddle steamer cruises, firstly on Lake Mulwala at Yarrawonga and later in the week on the Murray River at Echuca. Visitations were made to Bright, Beechworth, Echuca, Koonoomoo, Wangaratta, Eurobin, Wandiligong, Myrtleford and many other interesting locations too numerous to name.
The trip culminated in participation by members of both Clubs in the re-enactment of Ned Kelly’s trial in the Beechworth Courthouse. Probus Club members taking part in this iconic event can now rest easy that there does not seem to be any remaining photographic evidence of the humorous events transpiring in the courthouse that day.
