Local Outings
The club undertakes up to half-day outings to local places of interest, mainly in the "Dry Season" between April and September. They are notified in the monthly Newsletter and at meetings well in advance of the event. Occasionally these outings are linked to a monthly Dining Out visit to any one of a number of local restaurants.
Combined Outings
Where one of the local Probus Clubs organises an outing that will include one or more overnight stays, it is generally made open to all members of the local clubs, but subject to number restrictions. In recent years these have included:
A bus trip to Katherine; and
A bus trip to Kakadu National Park.
Interstate or Overseas Tours
These events are not common or regular, however, in past years a few of our more adventurous members have enjoyed trips such as:
A cruise to New Zealand in 2014;
A trip to Norfolk Island in 2015; and
A cruise to Singapore in 2016;
A big gap until December 2023 when 12 locals visited Norfolk Island.

Another trip in February 2024 - a cruise from Darwin to Singapore - attracted 20+ members.

On 15 February 2025 six members headed off to Sri Lanka for a 13 day tour - fabulous! As has become the norm over recent times, details of the trip were published in the club Newsletter after the trip.
April had just two members cruise from Sydney to Auckland for a few days before flying home as a cyclone was threatening New Zealand's north island. Again, a short summary in the club Newsletter post the event.
On 1 September 2025 there are five members heading to South Australia for eight days to check out Kangaroo Island and do a short cruise by Paddleseamer on the Murry River. Newsletter article, probably in the October edition.
