Grafton Senior Citizens recently held their October coach trip, to Tropical Fruit World, near Murwillumbah, with 36 passengers. The day began with a drive on Summerland Way to Casino, then to Lismore, where a picnic morning tea was enjoyed in a local park. The group continued on to Tropical Fruit World. There was time there to browse gift shop & fruit market, before embarking on a Tractor Train safari ride through plantation. After a ride on miniature railway, then a river boat cruise, and a visit to an animal park, lunch was then enjoyed and finally we went to miracle fruit show and tasting. Sincere thanks to our coach captain, Tony, for a great day, all passengers for their support, committee, and all involved in arranging trip, and serving morning tea.
