The group were able to fund the Friday, May 26 outing thanks to an Anzac Community Grant.
World War II veterans Norm Glover, 93, and Laurie Gordon, 94, are two of the eldest members of the bowls club, which is a sub-club of Diggers.
“Both Norm and Laurie have only just given up lawn bowls this year due to health reasons,” Diggers bowls club president Patricia Janes said.
“Unfortunately they could not make the trip.
“We would like to thank our local member, Kate Washington, who recommended us for the $1470 Anzac Community Grant and David Elliott, Minister for Veteran Affairs, who approved the grant,” Mrs Janes added.
