**Registration is required at below link:** **Tickets: $50** https://events.humanitix.com/oot-and-aboot-community-camp-oct-2026-edition-or-healesville-vic-or-1-5-hours-from-melbourne-cbd Oot & Aboot’s Community Camp is a relaxed, low-pressure overnight camping experience designed to bring LGBTQIA+ people and allies together in nature — this time with a Halloween twist!. This is our sixth camping event, and we’re intentionally keeping it simple. There’s no packed schedule or expectations — just space to slow down, connect, and enjoy the outdoors in good company (maybe with a few pumpkins and cobwebs thrown in). Across one night, you can look forward to: * A self-paced 1.5 hour hike to Maroondah Reservoir Park (Saturday morning, optional) * A welcoming and inclusive camp environment, dressed up for the season * Lawn and board games * Swimming * Spooky storytelling around the campfire (bring a tale to share, or just come listen) * A Halloween-spirited campfire hangout — costumes and Halloween makeup welcome (but never required!) * Plenty of unstructured community time to talk, laugh, and connect * A simple self-serve breakfast on Sunday morning Feel free to bring a costume, some face paint or Halloween makeup, decorations for your site, or just your regular camping gear — however much (or little) Halloween spirit you're in the mood for is totally fine with us. This is an **adults-only (18+)** event with a maximum of **15 participants**, creating an intimate and friendly atmosphere. No prior camping experience is required. New: pre-event WhatsApp group For this event, we're trialling an opt-in WhatsApp group for confirmed ticket holders. It's a relaxed space to say hi, ask questions, or get to know a few faces before the day — especially handy if you're coming solo and want a bit of a heads-up on who else will be there. Joining is completely optional — your phone number may be visible to other members — and the group will be deleted 3 days after the event.

Nature, Wildlife – Grampians Hiking Tour

Discover the Grampians on a premium small-group day experience designed for travellers who want more than a standard sightseeing tour. This journey focuses on guided hiking, respectful wildlife observation, and deep connection with nature, delivered at a relaxed and thoughtful pace. Your day begins with a scenic drive into the Grampians, where dramatic mountain ranges, ancient rock formations, and open bushland set the tone for the experience. Our approach is simple: less rushing, more exploring. We visit Booroka Lookout, one of the region’s most impressive viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramic views across the surrounding plains and ranges. Time is given to walk, observe, and appreciate the scale of the landscape rather than rushing through photo stops. The journey continues with a visit to MacKenzie Falls, one of Victoria's most spectacular year-round waterfalls. A scenic walk leads to the base of the falls, where you'll experience the power of the cascading water surrounded by rugged natural beauty. It's one of the Grampians' most iconic attractions and a favourite stop for nature lovers and photographers alike. The experience then takes you to The Balconies, where striking rock formations frame expansive views over the Grampians landscape. Short guided walks allow you to fully engage with the scenery while learning about the area's natural features. We also spend time in Halls Gap, the cultural heart of the Grampians. This is where wildlife is often seen moving freely in its natural habitat. Kangaroos, emus, and native birdlife are commonly observed, always from a safe and respectful distance. No feeding, touching, or forced interaction is ever part of the experience. **#Real Small Groups:** Maximum 11 Guests **#Pick-up & Drop-off Location:** [Federation Square Bus & Coach Pickup Drop-off Zone](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9887a0_2d0590703f45405c9231c0fabc314ad5~mv2.jpeg) **#Pick-up & Drop-off Time:** 8:30am-9:00pm **#Activity Level:** Moderate ### #What to Bring * Comfortable walking or hiking shoes * A warm jacket (weather can change) * Hat & sunglasses * Sunscreen * Motion sickness medication if needed ### #Important * Not suitable for children under 7 years old * Cancellations or rescheduling require 7 days’ written notice * Requests must be emailed to: [info@ch-ex.com.au](mailto:info@ch-ex.com.au) ### #What's Included * Small-group transport * Professional local guide * Complimentary drink * Snacks throughout the day * Free one instant printed photo (take-home souvenir) * Carbon offset through tree planting * All listed stops and experiences ### #What's Excluded * Lunch or dinner (to allow flexibility for dietary needs and beliefs) * Personal expenses

Eco-Impact Tribe:The Conscious Traveller

# **The Conscious Traveller** ### **Small Choices for a More Sustainable Trip** Inspired by a recent trip where I found myself wishing I had more practical tools to make more conscious choices while travelling, I thought: let’s figure it out together.

From what we pack to hotels freebies , eating out, shopping and everyday holiday choices, let’s share ideas and learn from each other. **The goal? To leave feeling a little more equipped for our next, more conscious trip.** 📍Meeting Point: **Three Bags Full, 60 Nicholson St, Abbotsford VIC 3067** ☕ Plan for the afternoon * **1:15 PM** — Arrival, coffee & casual introductions * **1:45 PM** — We gently dive into the conversation and fabric exploration * **2:45 PM** — Wrap up and finish (café close / table release) To support the venue, we kindly ask that you purchase a coffee and/or snack during the event. Please note that the venue does not offer split bills, so **cash is preferred**. \* A few photos may be taken for community sharing.
