Rochester Probus members were joined by friends and members from neighbouring clubs on a road trip last month.

Nineteen members and 27 others embarked on a captivating six-day tour through south-west Victoria and the South Australian Limestone Coast, starting on April 8.

The trip included overnight stays in Port Campbell, Mt Gambier, Kingston and Naracoorte, where members were able to experience the natural wonders of the area, including a helicopter flight over the Twelve Apostles for those who chose to.

Participants explored the enchanting Blue Lake and the underground garden oasis of the Umpherston sinkhole in Mt Gambier and a fascinating visit to the Victoria Fossil cave in Naracoorte.

Varied dining experiences added to the delight, featuring wine tastings at Norfolk Rise Winery, Kingston, and sumptuous meals showcasing succulent steak and seafood.

The successful tour, organised by Rochester Probus member Brian Love, was filled with good humour, lively banter and fun from start to finish.
