Refreshing Sherbrooke Forest Hike 8km - Explore Dandenong Ranges [Online Ticket]

Let's take a refreshing 8km hike in Sherbrooke forest in the Dandenong Ranges. This event will be limited to 20 people due to Parks Victoria restriction and I have to give them advance notice of the hike.

Please follow these two steps to confirm your spot:

Step 1: Please RSVP to this event on meetup.

Step 2: Please pay the organizer fee via Trybooking ($20 - Early Bird, $25 - Regular) - https://www.trybooking.com/DCQJC
Includes Park Victoria fee of $2.40 per person and 10% GST. Your spot is not confirmed until you get the Trybooking ticket.

Payments are managed through Trybooking and not Meetup. You will see an "Unpaid" status on your RSVP. The only thing you need is the Trybooking ticket which you will receive by email.

Meeting Point: Let's meet infront of the black direction sign in Federation Square at 9:50 AM. Please ensure that your myki has enough money before coming to the meeting point. We should be back in the city around 5 pm.

Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have seven simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.

❌ Not a dating group! – We’re here to make friends, not find soulmates. No flirty business, please!

📵 No phone numbers, please! – Feel free to swap social media if both parties are cool with it, but let’s keep our digits private. Please don’t add people to WhatsApp or other groups.

🔞 Our events are only open to people aged 18 and older.

📢 Please do not advertise other events or groups.

😅 Don’t be a social octopus! – Give people space to chat with others. Please don't be clingy.

🚗 We don't allow carpooling due to safety incidents/our public liability insurance not covering motor related accidents.

💰 No sales pitches! – No selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes, no “life-changing mentorship” offers—let’s keep things scam-free.

By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise 🤝 that you’ll follow the rules. Break them, and—poof!—you’re out for good. No second chances, no do-overs. Let’s keep it fun, friendly, and drama-free!
