Lake and River Cruises
The latest lake cruise took place on Sunday, 16th April 2023. 35 members and friends boarded the Nova Cruise boat at Booragul jetty for a 2.5 hrs lunch cruise around the lake. All enjoyed the day and the lunch buffet. Weather and wind were kind to us, nobody got seasick.
Meetups & Picnics
On Sunday, 28th of May 2023, the Germania Club had another picnic at Blackalls Park. In spite of the coldest May morning in more than 20 years 38 members and friends attended plus Louis in his pram. The party started on the Northern end of the picnic shelter where most of us were gathering a few sun rays. Eventually, it was warm enough around midday that we could sit at the tables in the shelter and have lunch. All enjoyed the jovial atmosphere with Heinz, Frank and Patrick playing their instruments and enticing us to sing along. Others mingled and chatted with old and new friends. Some more energetic individuals had to work off lunchtime calories by playing a few serious rounds of boule.
