In lieu of our regular lunchtime meeting at Kooyong on May 21 we have arranged a Vocational Tour of The Melbourne Mint.  280-318 William Street.

The Melbourne Mint is in the original 1870's building in William St that served as the mint for 40 years, and it has now been restored and is resuming operations as the centre for gold and silver operations.

This guided tour incorporates an interactive showroom and a bullion vault, and, for us, the tour is complimentary as part of their start up promotion. Friends and relatives are all welcome.

The tour starts at at 12.00 noon on Tuesday, May 21 and will be followed at 1.30 pm by lunch at The Mint Bar and Restaurant from 1.30 pm to 2.15 pm.

From 2.15 pm to 3.00pm there is an optional Hellenic Museum guided tour in the same building, for those that are interested. This is also complimentary.
