Despite a cloudy forecast, our first winter group outing turned out to be a sunny adventure! Our group had a fantastic time exploring the historic Zig Zag Railway , taking in the beautiful scenery and enjoying each other's company.

After our steam train adventure, we headed to Lithgow Workies Club & Motel for a delicious lunch, sharing stories and catching up before making our way back to Bathurst as the weather began to change.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this outing so special. Here's to more sunny surprises and memorable trips! 🌟

How lucky were we last Friday! The weather held for our last Autumn Group Outing to the magnificent Breenhold Gardens at Mount Wilson. We had a short stop at the Wollemi Bakery & Cafe for morning tea to ensure we were fueled up and ready for a day of exploration. The autumn colours were fabulous and a great day was enjoyed by all. We have now received several requests for spring visits to other gardens so stay tuned for that!

Our last shopping trip for autumn is Wednesday 22 May to Penrith. There are just a couple of seats left if you would like to go!

Who doesn't love the chance to get out and about and discover something new!
We did just that in late April when we took a group of our clients to the Western Sydney International Airport Experience Centre. A fascinating look at what the future of this airport will become. After our tour of the Centre we headed off to The East Bank at Jamison Town for some lunch - so many choices so little time!
Look out for upcoming group trips in our next newsletter to be issued in the first week of June.
