Co-Parenting

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

For 2026, I thought it would be fun to explore Melbourne in alphabetical order. Let's start with A for Altona (by popular demand). **ITINERARY** 11am - Meet at the entrance of Altona station. Walk down to the pier together and enjoy the sun, sea, summer breeze, and introvert-friendly conversation. 12pm - Picnic lunch in the park. Takeaway options nearby: * Altona Pines Fish and Chips * Mascalzone Altona * Between 2 Buns * Matteo's Delicatessen 1pm: Explore the town centre or the beach. * Altona Library is open till 4pm. * Louis Joel Arts & Community \| Gallery & Ceramic Studio is open till 2pm\. P.S. There is an organizer fee of $10 for this event. You can PayID me at 0403 413 056 (Serena Low) or bring cash on the day.

**A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Created specifically for women who want to build **genuine friendships**, not just exchange small talk. ***Check out [Our Website](https://we-belong.com.au/ "https://we-belong.com.au/")*** As adults, making new friends isn’t easy. You might meet people, but it rarely goes deeper. Conversations stay surface-level, and meaningful connections feel hard to come by. This experience is designed to change that, by matching you with women you’re **genuinely** **compatible** with, based on personality and communication style. **What to Expect** This is **not** speed networking. And it’s not a big, overwhelming group mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one experience where you’ll meet a small number of women who’ve been thoughtfully matched to you based on personality and vibe. You can expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A gently hosted structure so you’re never left feeling awkward or unsure * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can be yourself It’s about friendship, connection, and finding women you naturally click with. Each conversation is designed to feel easy and natural, because the matching is done with compatibility in mind. (We cross-post on multiple platforms, so events are usually full.) **Before the Event** You’ll receive a **short personality test (you only need to take the test once)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. ### **Event Agenda** **2:50 PM** Arrive early for quick check-in **3:00 – 3:15pm** Get drinks & mingle **3:15 – 4:15pm** Round 1 & Round 2 conversations **4:15 – 4:30pm** Break + refresh your drinks **4:30 – 5:00pm** Round 3 **5:00pm** Event wraps up **Come Join Us** If you’re craving deeper conversations, meaningful friendships, and meeting women who truly *get* you — this experience is for you. A warm, intentional space created for connection, ease, and real conversation — whether it leads to a new best friend, a deeper social circle, or simply a genuinely lovely afternoon. ***Check out [Our Website](https://we-belong.com.au/ "https://we-belong.com.au/")*** **RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.**

Every seat offered means another hiker can join the adventure. Less cars, easier logistics, more fun together. Carpooling is a great way to start the day by meet new people, share a few laughs, and arrive at the trail together. Drivers, your contribution makes a huge difference, and passengers, your gratitude keeps it all running smoothly. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the Wilderness Seekers Victoria experience. 🚗🌿 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **Carpool Driver information** If you’ve got spare seats and don’t mind some company, offering a lift is one of the best ways to kick off the day 🚙💨. It makes the trip more fun, helps out fellow hikers who don’t have a car, and is an easy way to make a few friends before we even hit the trail. Plus, fewer cars means less parking stress and a smoother start for everyone. For passengers, it’s the easiest way to get to the trail, meet new people and enjoy the ride together instead of travelling alone. In our Wilderness Seekers Victoria community, many people are more than happy to help out those without cars it’s part of what makes these days feel so welcoming and connected. ✨ Best practice: Passengers should try to secure transportation before purchasing a ticket to avoid any last-minute stress. **Important Carpooling Note** Drivers and passengers should stick with the arrangements they make. We **do not recommend swapping drivers or cars**after you’ve agreed on a ride. If you do decide to change, please make sure **all parties are clearly informed and agree** to avoid confusion. If a driver forgets, gets mixed up, or doesn’t pick you up, Wilderness Seekers Victoria (and your driver) are **not liable** for any inconvenience caused. For this reason, it is best to keep things simple with the driver you first arranged with.

Join us for a refreshing Neurospicy Bayside meetup with a gentle walk along the beautiful Sandringham foreshore! This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other neurospicy individuals in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. We'll meet at the **Sandringham Rotunda at 11 AM** on **Sunday 1st Feb 2026.** Here's what our walk will look like: * **11am AM - 11:15 AM:** We'll start with a short 15-minute out-and-back walk to allow for any latecomers to join us comfortably. * **11:15am onwards:** * **Walk to Black Rock:** we'll embark on a picturesque 90-minute walk from Sandringham to Black Rock and back (45 minutes there, 45 minutes back). You'll enjoy stunning bay views and beautiful trees along the way. We'll maintain a gentle pace, allowing for easy conversation as we walk. We'll stop in Black Rock and have a coffee/snack at a cafe. This walk is designed to be a comfortable and inclusive way to socialise. As we walk side-by-side along the trail, you'll naturally be looking ahead, which can be a more comfortable way to chat with others for many autistic individuals, removing the pressure of direct eye contact. **Wet Weather Plan:** If it's raining, we'll shift our plans! Instead of walking, we'll head to **Dzert Cafe**, conveniently located near Sandringham Station, for a relaxed chat over coffee and treats.
