MEMORIES OF OUR BRIGHT ALPINE TOUR - APRIL 2021:

  

        

Our Bright & Alpine Tour Group of 26 members in April 2021.

 

 

Bright 2021

 

We departed bright and early in the very swish Diamond Bus or should I say Coach, for our 2020 COVID delayed and much anticipated trip to Bright and over Mount Hotham to Lakes Entrance with Fun Over 50 Tours. Sara and Paul our guide and driver were fantastic and helped make this such an enjoyable and fun filled timeaway for everyone. The first day set the scene for the next four too much great food, drink, scenery and laughter especially at Milawa Cheese and Brown Bros where the wine tasting was more than generous! Autumnwas on full display in Bright with amazing colour everywhere. We enjoyed a lovely lunch with spectacular views ata deer farm and then an afternoon doing what we do best, shopping and/or relaxing with a drink or two at the Brewery. The post dinner entertainment was hilarious thanks to Carmel, Fran and Jeannie.

We think the drive to Mt Hotham was beautiful but the weather closed in! Even frosty snow near the summit. A great warming lunch was the reward when we made it! Fantastic driving by Paul!

Ditched the Diamond bus for the Seabird today for a cruise down the Gippsland Lakes to Metung for , yes you guessed, another beautiful meal, just what we need! We saw birds of all varieties, beautiful homes, and even seals! There was even time for that favourite Probus pastime, shopping. Fun and games last night after dinner, thanks to Carmel Connoley, Fran Norley and Jeannie Wallace. Just a hint don’t get Carmel to wrap your presents!  Congratulations to our eventual winner, First Lady Pam Fairnie.

Some Happy Snaps to remember the Trip (thanks to our Tour Photographer Kristine Barker).
