Members of the U3A Sapphire Coast joined with Merimbula Lake Combined Probus Club, for a Soul Quest Travel day trip on a luxury five-star coach. First stop was the Eurobodalla Regional Botanical Gardens, situated on a 42 hectare forest site five kilometres south of Batemans Bay. Then on to the privately owned award winning Mogo Zoo located in the picturesque, historic mining village of Mogo. Spokesperson for the group Anne Smith commented on the intimate, educational experiences offered by the zoo that enabled close and personal viewings of rare species, such as the Silvery Gibbon and Sumatran Tiger. “It was a great opportunity to see the animals and learn about their origins and habits” said Anne.
