FORSTER PROBUS CLUB AT CAPE YORK
by FORSTER DISTRICT COMBINED PROBUS INC | 07 Dec 2016
Twenty Probarians set out on 10 August for their challenge of a lifetime to experience setting foot at the tip of our Australian continent.
We set off from Cairns travelling via the Bloomfield track, then Cooktown to Coen in a comfortable, purpose built coach with Heritage Tours.
The husband of one of our members grew up in Coen and it was exciting for her to find reference to his father’s time in the Police Force archived. We all had stories of why we wanted to make this journey so we bonded together to help each other achieve our dream.
Our experiences of homestead life on Bramwell and Musgrave stations, the history, lagoons and rivers along the way to Weipa to visit the bauxite mine were shared with our Dirty Diary each evening at a really Happy Hour or two!! Our two mascots Cassie and Cascara rate a mention as having slept with everyone on the tour. Fruit Bat Falls was such a treat and many of us would still be there but for the assistance of our travelling companions who helped get us out of the water.
An unforgettable day!!! Walking to the tip was quite a moving experience for some of us and a great achievement helped by the walking poles supplied by Heritage and certainly the help of each other. A flight over the Cape for 8 of us was a thrilling time to see where we had walked along the ridge to the Cape, and to see the northern most tip of the Australian coastline.
We ended our exciting journey on Thursday Island which was magically blue and of great interest as the home to the romantic pearl lugger fleet. The companionship of other PROBUS members on such an adventure certainly made the true meaning of PROBUS a reality, evidenced in our recent post trip HAPPY HOUR get together complete with lots of laughs and thousands of photos.
