I take one solo photo for everyone with the Milkyway. These events are not aimed at photographers.

Location: For the safety of people attending the event and flexibility to change location at the last minute based on the weather forecast, we will only share the location details with people at the meeting point. For the safety of people attending future events, please do not share the Milkyway location with anyone. Also, please do not tag the location when sharing photos on Social Media.

The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most interesting naked eye sights in the night sky. We live under light-polluted skies, and to see a glimpse of the Milkyway, we need to travel outside the city.

Explore Melbourne is Australia's largest meetup group, with a big social media community too. To keep everyone safe and make sure every event is a good time, we have nine simple rules. Anyone who breaks them is removed from the group, and so far that's 336 people.

❌ Not a dating group. We're here to make friends, not find soulmates, so no flirty business, please!

📵 No phone numbers. Asking for or sharing phone numbers has led to scams, harassment and privacy problems in the past, so anyone who does it will be removed. Swapping social media is fine if you're both happy to, but please don't add people to WhatsApp or other group chats.

🔞18+ only. All our events are for adults aged 18 and over.

📢 No promoting other events or groups.

😅 Give people room. Everyone's here to meet lots of people, so please don't be clingy.

🚗 No carpooling. We've had safety incidents, and our public liability insurance doesn't cover motor vehicle accidents.

💰 No sales pitches. That means no selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes and no "life-changing mentorship" offers.

😊 A lot of work goes into every event. Please be kind to our organisers. Rudeness towards them won't be tolerated.

By joining this event, you agree to follow these rules. Break them and you'll be removed, just like the 336 people before you. No second chances. Let's keep it fun, friendly and drama-free!

Liability Waiver:
The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event. By participating in this event, you're taking responsibility for your safety and well-being.
