A Club for Active Retirees

Probus – Tomorrows vision for active retirees

The word Probus is an amalgamation of the words; PROfessional and BUSiness.

Probus is an association of active retirees who join together for the basic purpose of providing regular opportunities to keep their minds active, expanding their interests and enjoying the fellowship of new friends.

Membership open to active retirees who reside on the Tilligerry Peninsula or in the Medowie area but membership can be extended to others on approval by the Management Committee.

We have regular meetings and outings.

From the love of music & dance, the dream came alive to host our own family friendly festival, blossomed Crack ‘N’ Jack.

We are a niche live entertainment festival bringing all ages and various styles of music together in a safe & family suited weekend of fun!

With our own family we have created a beautiful camping area if you would like to stay the night, providing all amenities. 

Aiming to keep the festival cost effective this is a B.Y.O. event. Delicious food stalls will be operating throughout the day and night if you choose to really sit back and relax… Like you should.

Life is meant to be enjoyed!

So come join us in our mini parcel of paradise, unwind in nature, enjoy, live a little.
