Attendees from Numurkah, Tatura, Euroa, Shepparton and surrounding areas joined in for a day of exploration and adventure.
The journey kicked off with a refreshing stop in Seymour for morning tea, where everyone indulged in a delightful spread of food while enjoying a cuppa.
As the bus made its way towards the city, the excitement among passengers was palpable. Raffle draws kept spirits high, adding an extra element of thrill to the journey. Upon arrival in Melbourne, the group members wasted no time immersing themselves in the bustling city atmosphere, embarking on shopping sprees and leisurely strolls.
Venturing to South Wharf DFO, some daring souls opted for adventurous modes of transport, including trains and taxis, showcasing their agility in navigating Melbourne’s urban landscape. Despite a few close calls with time constraints, the journey was filled with laughter and camaraderie as everyone rallied together to reach their destination.
At the markets, participants indulged in a feast for the senses, selecting fresh seafood and a variety of culinary delights to take home. The bonding time spent together on the bus was punctuated by moments of appreciation and gratitude as FAFA president Delma Broughton expressed heartfelt thanks to all for their participation and camaraderie.
The trip was not just a journey of exploration but a celebration of friendship, unity and the joy of discovery. As memories were made and experiences shared, it served as a testament to the vibrant spirit and strong community bonds within FAFA.
It was organised by Mayette Martin, a FAFA committee member who thoroughly enjoyed the adventure alongside the group.
