Guest Speaker
Darren Hyland from Cement Australia in Railton 
spoke of his long work history in ‘Cement’.He informed us of the cement manufacture process,from mining the limestone rock at their own quarry to the coal used to fire the kiln that is mined at theirown Fingal mines and railed north. They also burn ‘waste’ by recycling poppy trash, expired liquid handcleanser and mattresses in the kiln. There is an exclusion zone around the plant where noise and smoke is monitored. Six trains every 12 hours travel to Devonport with cement for export to Adelaide, Melbourne and Gladstone using three leased ships. Finally, for history buffs, Railton cement built the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
Thank you, Darren for a great enlightening talk.
Welcome to our new member, Annie Jackson
who joins her husband Terry at Kentish Probus.
Terry joined our Club in 2022.
January Outing – Mystery Bus Tour
Thirty happy travellers joined our bus trip at 08.45 a.m. on 17th January. Surprising destinations found us enjoying morning tea a Hellyers Road Distillery near Burnie, eating a BIG lunch at the Bridge Hotel in Smithton, side tripping to scenic Trowutta Arch and driving through Irishtown. Late afternoon found us tasting Kimchi sour tonic at KimchiMe. A fascinating, long fun day 😊
An entertaining photographic record of our adventures has been captured in a PowerPoint Presentation, thanks to Rob Collisson, and will be shown
