🚍 Good Afternoon All 🚍
A very warm welcome is extended to all Members and their guests to join in on our 1st Excursion for 2020.
We will be meeting at Merrimac State High School on THURSDAY 12th March by 9am for our Coach to depart @ 9.15am, to then journey on to The Scenic Rim, Boonah, Queensland.
We will have a morning tea stop at an interesting location along the way and then we will continue on to visit
The Templin Historical Village Museum by 11.30 am.
Everyone is invited to bring their own picnic type lunch for this Excursion, including your favourite tipple perhaps. We will however be stopping in the High Street in Templin Village where there is a very highly recommended bakery, if anyone might be wanting to purchase a little something tempting from there. 🌯🍕🌮
Templin has over the years produced dairy, grain, meat and vegetables and the Templin Historical Village invites their guests to go back in time and see what life was like for the early settlers in the area. Spanning 10 acres the Museum showcases the areas varied history epitomising this quintessential country town.16 buildings have been saved and they house thousands of stories, images and collections. Items in the museums extensive collection include household goods, sporting memorabilia, military items, farming implements and indigenous artefacts.Ladies will love the House of fashion that showcases items through the generations dating from the 1900's and the Men will love the shed of machinery, most of which is still in working order. There is even a working wind turbine from 1923 and operational blacksmithing equipment.
After our visit to the Museum and @ approx 1pm, we will journey on to Mt French National Park to enjoy this beautiful area with its stunning views and this is where we will be able to enjoy our BYO picnic type lunch 🌯🍕 where there are tables, toilets etc.
Then we will travel on back to the Gold Coast, through the wonderful scenic countryside from approx 2pm to arrive back to Merrimac State High by approx 3.30pm.
As with all excursions the cost is determined by the number of travellers, so the more the merrier and the most cost effective. It is estimated that this excursion will cost approx $30 - $35.00 per person and the payment dates will be Mondays 2nd & 9th March 2020 at the U3A office between 10am and 12 noon.
If you would like to book a seat or seats, for this Excursion, please reply to this email by THURSDAY 27th February and an email will be sent out to all those who book their places very soon after then, with the final cost etc.
Looking forward to your interest.
