Before reaching the snowfields, we’ll stop in Mansfield, where you can hire ski and snowboard equipment. Additional rental options are also available at Mt Buller Resort for those who prefer to arrange their gear on the mountain. Upon arrival at Mt Buller, you'll be dropped off conveniently at the village car park, giving you a full day to explore this winter wonderland at your own pace. Hit the slopes on skis or a snowboard, book a lesson with the resort’s professional instructors, or simply soak up the magical alpine atmosphere. Take a break and warm up with a rich hot chocolate, enjoy a glass of mulled wine, browse the village shops, or relax while admiring the breathtaking snow-covered peaks. Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful mountain escape, Mt Buller offers something for everyone. As the day draws to a close, we’ll depart before sunset and begin our comfortable journey back to Melbourne. Watch the sky transform with spectacular alpine sunset colours as you reflect on an unforgettable day in Victoria’s snowy high country. #Group Size: Maximum 24 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: 6:00am-20:00pm #Activity Level: Moderate-Hard

Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

Sat, Aug 29, 11:00 PM
From Melbourne 3-Sided Soccer - Mixed play, all levels, Sundays
4.9

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.
