A trip to the historic town of Berrima

24 Sep 2025

Greenway Combined Probus Club recently enjoyed a fun trip to the historic town of Berrima.

Lake George was full as their big bus drove past, out of the freezing fog of Canberra into a lovely sunny day in the country. Members from two other clubs also joined them for this trip.

Their first stop in Berrima was Harper’s Mansion where they examined the early Georgian style house which was built of bricks made on the site. They then congregated in the back garden because of the sun amid lemon trees and a spectacular collection of rose bushes.

Afterwards, they walked around the corner to the oldest inn in Australia for a hot drink, chatted happily until midday then ordered lunch from a couple of imaginative menus. The food was very tasty and those who ordered Barramundi received huge portions.

After a leisurely lunch, many went to view the historic courthouse while others visited the shops.

The Club enjoyed how the air was fresh, the weather stayed sunny, as it was a relaxing, enjoyable and well organised country outing.
