Overnight Ride: 27-28 April to Tumut for the Festival of the Falling Leaf


We have organised an overnight ride to Tumut for the 63rd annual Festival of the Falling Leaf autumn festival and you’re invited to join us.

The 2019 festival will consist of the traditional street parade down Wynyard Street (commencing at 2:00pm) and a spectacular fireworks display at the Tumut Bull Paddock that evening (7:30pm start). Market stalls will be operating from 9:00am to 4:00pm in the Railway Precinct on Adelong Road.

On Saturday night 27th we’ll be staying at the Merivale Motel, Merivale Street, Tumut, (02) 6947 3902. Book your own room and tell Shelley you’re with Ulysses Canberra to get a room for $115. At last count the Merivale had 6 rooms left, so get in quick! (There are of course other places to stay in Tumut if the Merivale is full by the time you ring.)
