Lake and River Cruises
Our latest cruise took place on 5 May 2026. A group of 23 members and friends of the Germania Club aged between 7 and 97 boarded the Lady Mac at 12 noon from Booragul Jetty to cruise around the Northern section of the lake. The magnificent views and almost perfect weather were complimented by a delicious and sumptuous lunch buffet, not to forget the yummy deserts. Some of the group missed out on the scenery a bit due to the distractions caused by the skimpy cow girls outfits. All seemed to have enjoyed a great afternoon and the chats with new and old friends.
Meetups & Picnics
On Sunday, June 28, the Germania Club celebrated the “Sonnwendfest” (Solstice) at Club Macquarie in Argenton. A good crowd of 50 members and friends enjoyed the social get-together, the meals and, of course, the musical entertainment by our three-member band. It was great to welcome quite a number of our friends from the Central Coast Freunschaftsgruppe. Many attendees expressed their wish to have more of these events organised.
Christmas Parties
Trips
On October 12, 2023, thirty-four members and friends attended the Oktoberfest at Wangi Workers Club. The entertainment, which included the outstanding accordion player Ross Mayo, was organised by Aunty Molly. All enjoyed the ambiance and get-together with old friends. Some were chosen to join the bell-ringers choir, which was a great success.
