ZigZag Railway/Mudgee Tour
11-14 October
Getting close to last chance to join this trip. We have 28 going now and there are a few more spaces available for what should be another fun Probus trip. We have asked for our driver to be Hans who took us on the Yulefest trip last weekend and we are looking forward to four fabulous days of friendship, fellowship, fun and food. Please book in with me, (mikes@interpeace.com) or at the next general meeting.

Magical Mystery $2.50 Opal Card Tour
Postponed until Thursday, 18 September 2025
due to the weather forecast
Magical Metro Mystery tour Thursday 18 September 2025 – Meet at 8.45 am at Glenrose Shopping Centre
1) Board #271 bus at 8.57am for a quick drive to Forest Way Shopping Centre (Arndale for the oldies) and get off the bus
2) Walk 19 meters to Bus stop #ID 208649 in Rabbett Street, smile at the driver and board bus #280 for the trip to Chatswood station where we should arrive at 9.37am
3) Railway train. Board the train for a day of interesting rail trips, early Sydney colonial history, some history of the blackfellas who lived for some 40,000 years before the white fellows, art and culture and a fascinating temperate rainforest garden and a bit more including morning coffee and lunch
4) We plan to get back to Glenrose on Metro where any quick train buffs can get to the front and sit where the driver would sit if the Metro had a driver. Then we take the #283 bus which has a driver back to Glenrose
Note there are quite a lot of steps around the secret garden that you probably have not walked around. Good exercise for those who can exercise, limiting for those who can’t.
