Bus Trip to Geelong and Portarlington
Our bus trip this term will be to the Bellarine Peninsula and our first stop will be at The Heights Historic House in Geelong where morning tea will be served.  The house was imported from Germany for Charles Ibbotson, was erected over two months in 1855 and is the largest German prefabricated building in Victoria and noted for its' unusual watch tower.  Lunch will be at the Sphinx Hotel in Geelong and then we continue on to Portarlington to visit the Steam Flourmill which was built in 1857 and was run with steam powered equipment.
The bus will depart for Geelong at 9.00am from the car park at 125 George Street, East Doncaster so please make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow the bus to leave on time.   The bus will return to the car park at approximately 5.30pm.  Please advise if you have any dietary requirements when making your booking.
