PROBUS BUS TRIP TO DUBBO AND MUDGEE

Event description

Join us as we experience the picturesque countrysides of Dubbo and Mudgee.

On day 1, we visit the stunning landscapes of Mayfield Gardens, an expansive haven celebrated as one of the world's largest privately owned cool climate gardens. We are here to experience the autumn in the gardens, where the flaming colours emphasize the season’s remarkable changes in depth, texture and appearance. From here we continue to Dubbo to check in to our overnight accommodation.
On day 2, we visit  the Taronga Western Plains Zoo – home to more than 1100 animals from around the world, many of them endangered species. The zoo is in the unique position to allow many of the animals to roam freely and to be viewed without the visual barriers of fences, bars or glass, instead using a system of dry and water filled moats. A zoo staff member will step onboard our coach and explain the open range layout and some of the behind-the-scenes operations of the Zoo. We depart Dubbo and head for Mudgee, an idyllic town nestled within a soft, green valley. Nearby we find Gooree Park. One of the most historic and picturesque properties, it has the enviable reputation of being one of the country’s’ leading thoroughbred grounds. Enjoy a guided tour of the stud, lunch and a wine tasting here. We then settle into our lovely accommodation where we enjoy dinner at the onsite restaurant.

On day 3, we are joined by a local guide who will share their knowledge about the town before a visit Mudgee Honey Haven, one of the towns major tourist attractions. Stocking a wide selection of honeys to taste, trial each variety of honey before you decide on your favourite to purchase. There is also a wide selection of gifts and local produce to browse. Departing Mudgee, we stop at Ilford Valley Cherry Farm, nestled in the valley among hundreds of cherry trees. From here we make our way back to Sydney, arriving home late afternoon.
