The Probus Club of the Hills recently concluded its latest “Mystery Coach Tour,” a popular tradition that this year led members to the historic Thirlmere Rail Museum for a day of unexpected discoveries.
The tour commenced with a stop for morning tea at the scenic botanical gardens in Picton before the coach proceeded to the mystery destination. Upon arrival at the Thirlmere Rail Museum, members were treated to a comprehensive guided tour of the exhibits, which was followed by a provided lunch. The highlight of the day was a return trip between Thirlmere and Buxton aboard the historic Railmotor CPH 18.
This most recent outing follows a series of successful mystery tours that have previously taken members to the Coal Loader at Waverton and the Q Station.
