Stanthorpe probus

At our May monthly meeting, Julie Barnes told us of the operations of U3A in Stanthorpe.

U3A encourage lifelong learning, maintaining social connections, and nurturing the mind, body and soul.

Anyone interested in their activities can contact their webpage u3agranitebelt.org.au for more information.

Our activity for June was a visit to ‘Historical Towns of the Downs’.

First was a stop at the ever-popular Sandy Creek Pub for a lovely morning tea.

We then travelled through Allora, Clifton, Nobby and on to Drayton where we visited the Royal Bulls Head Inn.

Not sure if anyone encountered the resident ghosts…nobody was letting on!!

We then travelled back to Cambooya to the Bull & Barley Hotel for lunch.

We walked off the delightful lunch with a stroll around the Steel Rudd Memorial Park at East Greenmount before boarding the bus for home.

After a slight detour, our final stop was a very enjoyable ice cream from Maccas. Thanks, Lynn, for an interesting ‘pub crawl’.

Our next activity will be our Mid-Winter Feast luncheon at the International Club on 26th July instead of our regular meeting.
