Drive Days – November 18 – 20.
This year we have arranged an exciting three-day drive in the Healesville area, based at the beautiful RACV Healesville Resort. Our program will be as follows:
Day 1. Monday, 18 November 2024.
We meet at Healesville Sanctuary for a fully catered BBQ lunch, with time to view a special Birds of Prey event and visit the many enclosures housing Australia’s finest species. After time at the Sanctuary, we drive to RACV Healesville for check-in and dinner at the resort.
Day 2. Tuesday, 19 November 2024.
Following breakfast, we drive to Gulf Station for a guided tour of this wonderful National Trust property. After Gulf Station we have arranged a two-course lunch at Yering Station. A scenic drive back to the Resort is planned, and some may choose to spend time exploring the Healesville shops. No formal dinner is provided for this evening, but light meals and drinks are available at the Resort, or you may choose to dine at one of the many choices available in Healesville (both these options are at your own cost).
Day 3. Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
After breakfast, we have arranged a scenic drive to Launching Place. Lunch is at the Historic Home Hotel, where an à la carte menu and drinks are available at the bar at your own cost. In the afternoon, it is possible to visit either Warburton, Healesville or any of the nearby towns for shopping. Return to the Resort for our farewell Dinner.
