Fishing Trips Melbourne

2 waterfalls at Otways rainforest (4 spots - road trip)

[Instagram: Road Trips by The Dancing Voyager: Ron Singh](https://www.instagram.com/the_dancing_voyager_ron_trips) Sunshine forecast! 1 new, large, rental vehicle, 1 driver (me), 3 spare spots, $20 per person! Over 70 road trips done in 5 years! I run 3 Meetup groups (shown on my profile). All are part of my second passion project. This road trip is for people new to Australia who have not been to this location (International Students, Working Holiday Makers and tourists)! No evidence is required. I will trust you! **Details given below in sections: (1) Questions / (2) Road trip itinerary / (3) Payment / (4) Responsibility / (5) Breaks / (6) Weather / (7) Phone charging / (8) Contact** **\-\-\- \(1\) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS \-\-\-** **Your questions for me:** Why is the total fee so low at $20, covering a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver, on something that seems really high quality and well planned, like a private tour company? Sounds too good to be true or that there is a catch. Is this genuine? **My answers to you:** Because this project is my community service to give back. I explain this further below. The low fee is just a formality to confirm your place, so that I know you are serious on attending. This is genuine. Over 70 road trips done in 5 years! I have created precious memories for many people new to Australia. Photos on Instagram link further above. **\-\-\- \(2\) ROAD TRIP SUMMARY AND ITINERARY \-\-\-** Day trip to the waterfalls of Otways rainforest. A truly inspiring rainforest! Sights and sounds to fill you with peace! We will visit two waterfalls at this majestic location, along with a lake on the way. **Itinerary: Lake Colac - Otways rainforest scenic drive - Little Aire Falls - Triplet Falls - Winchelsea** **Meeting point: Fed Square, 9 am**. Back there by **8 pm**. Meet by the steps (main entrance, opposite the Swanston Street tram stop). **\-\-\- \(3\) PAYMENT \-\-\-** **Total fee: $20 in total (no other costs). This covers a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver.** **Eventbrite link for payment:** [https://otways2-road-trip.eventbrite.com.au](https://otways2-road-trip.eventbrite.com.au/) **Cancellations:** If I cancel the road trip for any unforeseen issues, a full refund will be given. If you cancel, there is no refund. **Why is the fee so low?** The low fee is just a formality. It might sound too good to be true or that there is a catch. There is no catch. I am simply someone who has been giving back for many years. I playfully call this project a “Melbourne travel secret”! There are people in this world who want to genuinely give back without any expectations because they are truly fulfilled and grateful for what they have. I am one of those people. This is my community service. I am not doing this for money and I never have. Money cannot buy passion. The nature of majestic Australia helped me find peace and passion and I want to give back by sharing that inspiring nature with people new to this country. If they are also inspired by that nature, then that is my reward. There is no hidden agenda in doing this project. The reason I am being quite upfront is because in this day and age, there is always a catch when people do something like this. There is none with me and I am not selling or promoting anything. I do not need anything because I have peace, passion and fulfilment. I have everything. I am truly humbled and grateful. Photos from road trips are on Instagram link below: [Instagram: Road Trips by The Dancing Voyager: Ron Singh](https://www.instagram.com/the_dancing_voyager_ron_trips) **\-\-\- \(4\) RESPONSIBILITY\, LIABILITY\, SAFETY \-\-\-** As your driver, I am responsible and liable for your safety while we are in the vehicle. Passengers are insured as per the Australian law. For times we are outside the vehicle, we then become responsible for our own liability and safety, just like every other capable adult in society. **\-\-\- \(5\) BREAKS/MEALS \-\-\-** There will be many breaks for sightseeing/walks. I will stop at places where food/snacks will be sold but you are welcome to bring your own as well. There will be a lunch break at either a cafe or takeaway shop. **\-\-\- \(6\) WEATHER AND WHAT TO WEAR \-\-\-** I plan events when weather looks good but please also see itinerary for location details and check the forecast to dress accordingly. My advice is to always be prepared! Recommend to have something to cover you if rain suddenly appears or if winds suddenly get cool. Also recommend to carry sunscreen and a hat. Please also wear good, comfortable shoes that can provide protection from water (in case there are muddy areas). You can bring many things, as the vehicle will have a lot of storage space. My road trips focus on sightseeing, relaxing and appreciating the beauty of nature. However, some routes can have steep walks. Please see itinerary or reach out if you have any questions. **\-\-\- \(7\) PHONE CHARGING \-\-\-** Please charge your phone before joining. In the past, people have taken lots of videos and photos and used up their batteries! You can bring your charging cable if you want. The vehicle will have various charging ports. **\-\-\- \(8\) CONTACT \-\-\-** If you need to contact me, please reach out through Eventbrite, WhatsApp (username: the_dancing_voyager) or Instagram (link at the top). You will also get a separate email from Eventbrite with my mobile number after you confirm your spot.

We **hike** gently through lush forest trails, listening to birds and flowing water, with time to pause, take in the surroundings, and maybe spot a **koala** resting high in the trees. We then gather for a Ratatouille lunch **meal,** thoughtfully prepared and fully included, enjoyed outdoors in a calm natural setting — simple, refined, and shared. A **guided meditation** invites stillness and clarity, before we ease into a serene **kayaking** experience on a quiet lake, surrounded by soft reflections and open space. ✨ Small group.

🦜🌊Bellarine Wetlands & Coastal Frolic — Ferry ⛴️ Day Trip and Walk - 16 km

🌊 **Bellarine Peninsula Wetlands & Coastal Frolic Day Trip -16km** — Singles 30+ Featuring the 10:40 am Sunday Ferry from Docklands to Portarlington **Location**: Portarlington to S.Leonards on the Bellarine Peninsula with wetlands, beaches and shipwrecks included **Meeting poin**t: Best to arrive at the ferry terminal at around 10.15/10.30 **Max**: 13 people Singles only please, no married or seperated individuals The walk will be broken up into two main sections with a luxurious lunch break between the walks. - A 5km wetlands and wildlife loop around Portarlington and then yummy lunch. - An 11km coastal walk to St.Leonards from Portarlington ***Of course if you're feeling lazy after the wetlands loop you can either catch the ferry back to Melbourne or the bus to Geelong/Melbourne***! If you’ve been craving a day that feels like a mini‑holiday — the kind where you meet new people, breathe fresh sea air, and maybe flirt a little under the early‑spring sunshine — this one’s for you. We’re catching the 10:40 am Sunday ferry from Docklands, gliding across the bay to Portarlington for a full coastal adventure with a fun, relaxed group of singles 30+. **Please note. Refer to group policy around waitlists, and no shows** The ferry ride itself is part of the charm: gentle waves, big windows, and that moment when Melbourne slowly disappears behind you and the Bellarine Peninsula appears ahead like a postcard. It’s the perfect social warm‑up — not too long, not too short, just enough time to settle in and start chatting. **🌿 Point Richards Wetlands — Birdlife, Boardwalks & Coastal Calm** **Once** we arrive, we’ll wander into the Point Richards Wetlands, a peaceful nature reserve that feels like stepping into another world. This place is a hotspot for extensive birdlife, and they put on a show: - Black swans gliding across the water like they’re hosting a royal procession - Spoonbills sweeping the shallows with their oversized beaks - Herons standing perfectly still, plotting whatever herons plot - Egrets flashing bright white wings against the reeds - Migratory birds dropping in like they’re on their own singles retreat - Pelicans doing their slow‑motion runway strut along the shoreline It’s calm, beautiful, and surprisingly social — wetlands have a way of slowing everyone down and opening up conversation. We’ll do a shortened loop here, enough to enjoy the boardwalks, the saltmarsh, and the wildlife without turning the day into a marathon. 🍽️ **Portarlington — Lunch, Laughs & Local Flavour** **After** the wetlands, we’ll drift back into Portarlington for a pub or café stop. This town punches above its weight when it comes to food: - Grand Hotel — classic pub meals, big portions, cold drinks - Arlo Wine Bar — pasta, wine, and a slightly cheeky “we could stay here all afternoon” vibe - Portarlington Bakehouse — quick, comforting, reliable - Pier‑side fish & chips — casual, salty, perfect Whether you want something hearty, something light, or something that pairs well with a glass of wine, Portarlington has you covered. 🌊 **The Coastal Walk — Beaches, Shipwrecks & Sea Creatures** **After** lunch, we begin the beautiful foreshore walk toward Indented Head and St Leonards — a long, scenic stretch of coastline that feels tailor‑made for social walking. Along the way you’ll see: - Turquoise shallows that look almost tropical - Long, open beaches perfect for relaxed pacing - Quiet coves where the water barely ripples - The Ozone shipwreck, rising from the water like a rusted ghost - Foreshore reserves dotted with native plants - Stingrays gliding in the shallows if the water is clear - Crabs scuttling across the sand like they’re late for a meeting - Pelicans supervising the coastline with their usual attitude - Views across the bay all the way to the You Yangs It’s flat, easy, and endlessly scenic — the kind of walk where conversations flow naturally and the kilometres disappear without anyone noticing. 🍟 **St Leonards — Fish & Chips, Pub Time & Cheeky Extras** **We** finish at St Leonards Jetty, a peaceful seaside village with just enough charm to make you want to linger. Food options here include: - Fish & chips by the water — salty, crispy, perfect after a long walk - St Leonards Hotel — relaxed pub energy, outdoor seating, great for a cheeky drink If the group chemistry is flowing, there’s always room for a cheeky early dinner, a “just one more drink,” or a slow wander along the jetty before we head home. Nothing formal, nothing pressured — just the natural extension of a good day with good people. 🚍 **The Journey Home** — Bus, Train & Daylight Saving Magic From St Leonards, we hop onto the Route 60 bus to Geelong, then glide back to Melbourne on the train. And because daylight saving begins today, we’ll almost certainly arrive back in Melbourne in daylight — that warm, golden early‑evening glow that makes everything feel softer, friendlier, and a little more romantic. **⚠️ Important Ferry Note** The ferry can fill quickly, so please book your 10:40 am Sunday ferry several days in advance. I’ll send out a reminder before the event. If you don’t secure a ticket, you’ll need to make your own way to Portarlington to join the walk. **⚠️Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** **These** are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **💘Flirtation Guidelines** **This** is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. **👟Fitness Requirements** **Walking**: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough to walk 15 km with limited stops We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. ⛹️ **Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow** **Small** social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. **👩‍💼Time Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** **To** keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20 Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. Group regulars get priority access. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra. **🧭The Creep Code** **A** refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) unless I know you. No Tinder Swindler‑style mingler **Guys**: Please Take Special Note Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection” Don't send unsolicited messages, that's creep gold. **⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words** **No** wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first **⚠️CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS⚠️** **😢No**‑**Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events ***Remove yourself more than 24 hours before the event, cancellations within 24 hour of the evevt when there is a waitlist will result in group removal and likely blocked People on the waitlist require more than 24 hours notice that they have been approved to attend..
