Books & Bites - a bookish dinner for women in Melbourne
You love books. Your friends…not so much 😬
Or maybe they read, just not the way you do.
Either way, you've been looking for your people — and this is where they are.
📚 Busy with Books is hosting its first Melbourne bookish dinner, and we're keeping it simple: good Italian food, good conversation, and a table full of women who actually want to talk about what they've been reading.
We're gathering at [Il Mercato Centrale](https://www.mercatocentrale.com.au/) — Melbourne's beautiful Italian food hall in the CBD (close to Southern Cross) — where everyone orders what they fancy from the stalls, and we spend the evening doing what we love most: Talking about books. (And eating. Obviously 💁🏼♀️)
**What to expect:**
* A relaxed, informal dinner
* Great food from Il Mercato Centrale (your order, your tab)
* A small goodie to take home
* Good conversation with women who get it
* A cap of 10 guests to keep it intimate
We won't have a set book (this time!), so there's no pressure or homework.
Just show up, order something delicious, and talk books with strangers who are about to become your favourite reading friends.
**Your ticket ($10 early bird, $15 regular)** secures your spot and helps us keep building BWB events in Melbourne.
Can't wait to meet you 📚
**About Busy with Books:**
*[BWB](https://www.busywithbooks.com/) is a reading community for women across Australia & New Zealand.*
*Since 2024, we've hosted sold-out reading retreats in New Zealand (coming to Australia soon!), run an online book club, and been featured in NZ Herald, Stuff, Woman's Day, and more.*
*Now we're starting out in Melbourne, and this dinner is the first step ♥️*

Seasonal Truffle Menu at Tipo 00
Thanks to our Fine Diner Melanie for highlighting this three-week-only menu at renowned pasta spot Tipo 00 for truffle season. Here’s what you need to know about the food:
Price - $165pp (optional wine pairing $105)
***Menu***
Focaccia, ricotta, basil oil
Bomboloni 'cacio & pepe', black garlic & truffle
Beef carpaccio, tomato, Parmigiano Reggiano & truffle
Stracciatella, pear agrodolce, marjoram, almond
Risotto al tartufo
Rabbit pappardelle, hazelnut, marjoram & truffle
Braised greens, almond puree
Tartufomisu, chocolate, coffee, truffle cream & truffle
Rice pudding, rhubarb & pistachio
Yum!
I have booked for 5 Fine Diners to enjoy Tipo 00’s Truffle Menu at $165 per person for dinner from 6pm on Saturday 4 July.
Join the waitlist to express interest.
After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’.
As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot.
I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist.
Bring on the truffle fun(gi)!
Girl Founders Council - Focus Group - Founders and Builders Session 1
**Location:** Brighton Library - Booked Private Meeting Room
**Spots:** 8 maximum
*This is the first one. Come help us figure out what it becomes.*
The Founders Council is a weekly gathering for women in Melbourne's south-east who are building something — a business, a side project, a creative practice, an idea that keeps coming back.
It is not just a networking event. It is not a workshop. It is a council — a small room of women who show up weekly (or help out the one-off joiners to the group) to give and receive honest input from people who are in the same season of building but might be doing it alone.
You will meet other girls who are building something too, let's help each other out with whatever each of us is working on. Share your inputs and ideas. Because I believe we have so many skills and pieces of knowledge that can help the person next to you.
This can be your accountability group come when you can, touch base and keep yourself accountable with what you planned to build.
**Session 01 will run like this:**
We will start with a quick round of names and what everyone is working on — thirty seconds each.
Then the council opens. Anyone who wants to bring something gets fifteen minutes — a problem, a decision, a pitch to test, something they need honest eyes on. (You can also treat this as your accountability group where in your 15 minutes you can share what your plan is for this week. Then come again next week to check in and plan the next week) The group responds. Not with prescriptive advice. With real honest reactions from people who get it.
We close with each person naming one thing they are doing before next week. That is it. That is the accountability.
Then the last thirty minutes are open — coffee, conversation, the kind of talk that only happens when the room is right.
**You do not have to share anything.** Come and contribute to the group. Listen. Give your perspective on someone else's problem. That seat is just as valuable as any other.
**Who belongs here:**
Women aged roughly 20 to 40 in Melbourne's south-east who are actively building something. Early stage, side hustle, just an idea — all welcome. The only thing that connects everyone in the room is that you are building and you want to be around others who are doing the same.
**What to bring:**
Yourself. Coffee. Optionally — one thing you are working on or stuck on that you would like the group's eyes on.
**Spots are limited to 8.** Small by design. The council only works when the room is small enough for everyone to have the time to share and get the response.
*This is a weekly event. Come once or come every week — no commitment required. The door is always open.*
Started by Veronika — Bayside local, building an app for couples, and someone who started this group because she needed it and could not find it.

1 Day Snow Trip! [Mount Buller] - Super cheap! (from: $89)
== A note on our cheap tickets ==
Yes we have discounted tickets, but they are limited. We have always tried to provide lower prices (and yes, these are normal return ticket) as many of our customers are students & foreigners. However if you want discounted tickets, they are on a first-come, first-served basis - so planning ahead really helps.
=== 100% REFUND GUARANTEE IF THERE IS NO SNOW! ===
If there is not enough snow on the mountain for skiing / snowboarding then we will cancel the trip and refund customers. We regularly watch the snow reports for snowfall reports.
=== Mount Buller snow season bus trip ===
Note: despite our name (New To Melbourne!) we get a lot of locals and non-foreigners - especially for this service (our snow transport).
The Mount Buller snow field / resort is a must see during winter and is incredible for Instagram photos - but it’s for a very limited part of the year.
=== What’s included ===
This is a 1 day bus transfer to Mount Buller (with return back to Melbourne). We are travelling in a comfortable 57 seat coach (bus) with air-conditioning / heating. Included in your ticket is also the “gate entry” (which is normally $50 or so). We are probably the most affordable transport option to the snow (as we are with our other trips).
It’s great for families, couples, kids and for all kinds of activities like: take photos (for instagram / facebook), tobogganing, sledding, skiing, snowboarding, build snowmen/snow figures, sightseeing or have a snow fight with friends.
► Return coach transport to (and from) Mount Buller
► We stop at snowboarding / ski equipment store (their staff can advise and fit you on the day if you want to ski/snowboard etc.)
► 10% discount on snowboarding/skiing equipment and clothes (exclusive to New To Melbourne!)
► Mount Buller resort Entry Fee / “Gate fee” (please note: lift pass not included)
(Important: this is normally $50 for those that drive themselves but is included in the New To Melbourne ticket price).
=== BUY TICKETS HERE ===
[https://www.newtomelbourne.org/shorty/cspx74](https://www.newtomelbourne.org/shorty/cspx74)
IMPORTANT: most of our bus services to Mount Buller sell out. Attendees must have purchased a ticket ahead of time in order to board in the morning. If you attend the pickup location looking to pay in cash, you will be turned away.
=== EQUIPMENT NOT INCLUDED ===
\- tickets do not include ski equipment\.
\- Snow equipment hire prices are approx\. $100 for snowboard / skis \(and poles\)\, boots\, pants\, jacket and helmet\. However there’s plenty to do apart from snowboarding / skiing if you’re on a budget\.
=== BUS DEPARTURE ===
Bus departs from: Old Melbourne Gaol (377 Russell St, Melbourne VIC 3000). Closest station is Melbourne Central Station (5 minutes walk away)
From Melbourne: 5.30am
From Mount Buller: 5.00pm (please confirm with your driver on the day) - be on time to ensure you do not miss the bus.
Return to Melbourne: 9.00pm
=== Activities for families ===
Many families like to goto the taboggan park or arrange ski/snowboarding lessons for their kids. You can get a taboggan park pass at the equipment store we are visiting on the way. Just speak to the staff (at the equipment store) on the day.
=== Learn to Ski or Snowboard ===
If you don't know how to ski or snowboard, there are lessons that are available on the days that we visit. You can google and find these fairly quickly. Lessons are available for adults and children.
===== Early Start? =====
All pickups are an early start for Mount Buller - to ensure you get the most time on the slopes possible.
How to get to the meeting location (in the morning):
Transport options may be limited at this time in the morning, so:
\- some people stay with a friend in the city\, a hostel \(overnight\) or an AirBnb \- then walk to the meeting location\.
\- plan your journey in advance to make sure you can get to the meeting point \(comfortably\) prior to 5\.30am\. If you have trouble with public transport to the Melbourne departure point\.

===== important: Refund policy & related =====

=== Snow issues ===
\* Expect patchy mobile phone reception (calls & data)
\* If you would like to stay at Mount Buller, please let the driver know - so the entire group is not waiting on you (in order to lead) or trying to call you.

Our customers have a lot to say about our products. Click on the link below to find out what people think:
[https://bit.ly/2YF5Tpr](https://bit.ly/2YF5Tpr)
=== Ticket Sell Outs ===
If you are buying close to the event date, please expect that tickets may not be available as our transport service almost always sellout due to a combination of our lower price and high seasonal demand. If tickets become available, we'll post to the event page that they're available.
Unfortunately we cannot reserve tickets and we're unable to individually let people know when tickets come out - please keep an eye on the event page if you miss out.
Transfer service only: Unlike other New To Melbourne tours, this service is a Mount Buller return transfer service only (with included stops) and not a tour. As such, there is not a tour guide - only a driver.
=== Ticket fee ===
Please note: Eventbrite adds a 6% (or so) “ticket processing fee” to our ticket price.
=== Safety & personal risk ===
Please also be aware that this is a transfer service only and that customers snow board, ski and visit Mount Buller at their own risk. Snow boarding and skiing can be dangerous sports and there are particular risks with cold weather / snow and these sports that you are responsible for researching & preparing prior to visiting. Please approach the snow season with safety as your first priority.
=== Group discount, Concessions and children’s passes ===
-Groups above 20 people, please contact us.
-For children / concession prices: Our standard adult price is already below most of our competitors concession price, so prices cannot be further discounted.
