Agile Testing

Smashing! Try something new Friday night Interactive workshops - Become the charismatic leader Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just one member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and the commercial feel is lost. SmashSpeak's vibe is in the sweet spot." **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, sharing the stage and greater good focus Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, Orange room More to come...

You know? We know how it is … You've read the books and looked up stuff online … and you’re bursting with ideas and questions and you want to talk about it with someone … but … your family won’t understand, your friends won’t take you seriously … and don’t even think about your workmates … That’s why, many years ago, we started Magic Saturdays to provide a safe, comfortable and very pagan space where you can immerse yourself in Witchcraft, Paganism, Magic, Spells, Rituals … everything … nothing is off-limits and there are no stupid questions. Each Saturday, apart from the obvious conversations, we try to do some magic just so you can get a feel for it. The people that come along range from complete beginners to those that have been living the pagan life for some time. It doesn’t matter. Everyone has something to contribute or some just want to soak up the atmosphere. Either way, whether you come for half an hour or the whole day you’ll feel refreshed, empowered and validated … and you may have even met some of our nature spirits. Our shop is also open (it doesn’t cost anything if you just want to come and look at the shop), so remember to top up on your magical supplies while you’re here.

🚀 Rapid Software Testing and AI (RST:AI) – Live in Melbourne 📍 Melbourne, Australia 📅 March 30 – April 1, 2026 🎓 3-Day Intensive Workshop AI is transforming how software is built. But how should testing evolve alongside it? Join world-renowned software testing leader Michael Bolton for an immersive three-day Rapid Software Testing and AI (RST:AI) workshop, delivered live and in person in Melbourne. Hosted by Salt Talent Solutions, this hands-on class explores how testers and engineering teams can critically evaluate automation and AI while applying them effectively in real-world testing work. This is not just another testing workshop. It’s an opportunity to rethink how testing works in the age of AI. 🎤 Meet Your Instructor \- Michael Bolton Global software testing expert and co-creator of Rapid Software Testing (RST).

We are meeting in the board-room of the 55th floor of 318 Russel Street (The Abode). When you arrive call me on 0447 591 141 and I'll come down and get you. ## **🛠️ Meetup Format (2 hours)** **⚡ Project Intros (5 minutes total)** Each participant gets **1 minute (hard stop)** to briefly share: * What they’re building * What they want to focus on today **🚀 Build Sprints (90 minutes total)** We’ll run **three focused build cycles**: * **25 minutes** of deep, uninterrupted building * **5 minutes** of casual chatting, sharing progress, and asking questions **🎤 Demos & Wrap-up (10 minutes total)** Each participant gets **1 minute (hard stop)** to: * Demo what they built * Share learnings or next steps This format balances **deep focus**, **collaboration**, and **show-and-tell**, while keeping things lightweight and fun.

Tickets required: $50 via TryBooking: https://www.trybooking.com/DKUCD Location: Carlton (exact venue/address sent after ticket purchase). What it is: a structured gathering — tea ritual + guided conversation + guided sigil-making. Tea-only (no food). Bring a notebook if you like. Looking forward to seeing you there. **The Aquarian Tea Party - Creating your own Sigil** *Ceremony, Connection, Contemplation: Sacred Tea as Ritual, Conversation as Insight* The Aquarian Tea Party invites you to an intimate gathering in a small circle of shared space, presence, and reflection. We begin with the simple alchemy of making and drinking tea, allowing scent and warmth to do what they do best: gather the mind and open a space where thought can deepen. This is a way of meeting one another in a calm, shared rhythm. Tea is approached not as refreshment alone, but as a medium for slowing perception and cultivating attention. Silence and conversation move naturally between one another, allowing the group to arrive fully. From this stillness, we turn to a short (12-minute) video introduction to sigils: symbolic forms shaped by intention—letters, marks, and geometries arranged to hold a clear inner statement. Historically used across esoteric, mystical, and philosophical traditions, sigils function as focal points for meditation, inner alignment, and energetic inquiry. The film introduces both symbolic and geometrical sigils, including forms drawn from sacred geometry, and considers their use in contemplative, protective, and balancing practices. We will touch on several families of forms, including geometric structures such as the triangle, hexagram, the Flower of Life, and related patterns that have long carried metaphysical meaning. Afterward, we will engage in a guided discussion, not to reach consensus, but to deepen understanding. This is a space for nuance, interpretation, and careful listening. Our discussion follows in the spirit of shared inquiry: reflective rather than declarative, curious rather than certain. This is a room for nuance—for those who enjoy ideas with texture, and who can sit with mystery without needing it to become a slogan. The final portion of the gathering invites participants to create their own sigils under gentle guidance. This process emphasizes clarity of intention, symbolic coherence, and embodied awareness rather than outcome-driven practice. No prior experience is required—only curiosity, patience, and respect for complexity. Please get your tickets here: **https://www.trybooking.com/DKUCD** https://www.theteaparty.com.au/

**Werribee Gorge Off‑Track Adventure Circuit — Scrambles, River Crossings & Big Grins** *This is a serious grade 5 hike, similar in sone sections to the Cathedral Ranges Southern Circuit but generally without the exposure*. Ready to ditch the manicured trails and step into something a little wilder? This is a 12 km off‑track circuit through the heart of Werribee Gorge, weaving together hidden tracks, rugged terrain, rocky scrambles, three cheeky river crossings, and a whole lot of “I can’t believe we just did that” moments. Expect 4–5 hours of proper adventure, teamwork, and big views across one of Victoria’s most dramatic gorges. **⛰️ What to Expect** - Off‑track walking on rough, uneven terrain - Three minor river crossings (yes, your feet may get wet) - Low‑grade scrambling using hands for balance - Minor hill climbs and occasional bursts of strenuous effort - Countless small obstacles to negotiate together - A swim option for the brave — the water here is gorgeous - Lunch together in a picturesque location - A huge sense of accomplishment at the end This is a real bushwalk, not a Sunday promenade. You’ll need a healthy, adventurous spirit and a willingness to help each other out. I used to be a hiking guide and climbing instructor if that gives you a clue on the type of route this might be, I’ve done this special route many times with many people that I've taken for a little adventure — very few people know it exists, and it’s an absolute gem. **Note:** As a proper adventure style hike conditions may dictate the route, nothing is certain and we may need to find alternative routes if necessary. Times are only an estimate and please give a large allowance as to how long things actually take. If you have strict schedules, don't come on this trip. The walk will be done at a pace that may be slow due to the terrain that needs to be negotiated and for observing all the amazing natural wonders along the way. **📍 Start Time & Meeting Point** 11:00 a.m. sharp Meikles Picnic Area, Werribee Gorge State Park Please aim to arrive by 10:45 a.m. — there is usually no phone reception, so once you’re in the carpark, you’re in the communication void. **🎒 What to Bring** - Hiking boots/shoes (preferred) or sturdy runners (the are some step slippery sections where having a heel and decent lugs as opposed to flat soles would be far better) - I'd bring a pair of sandals or thongs for the river crossings unless you prefer bare feet or happy to clomp around in wet footwear - 2 litres of water minimum - Snacks + lunch - First aid kit, whistle, hiking pole, gaiters (if you have them) - Swimwear/towel if you’re keen for a dip - A sense of humour and a willingness to get a little dusty - It's a team effort, so a willingness to help each other out - Bring clothes suitable for a hike, not street clothes. **Ideally** Gaiters, Whistle, First aid kit, small backpack **⚠️ Experience & Fitness** Requirements This walk requires: - Prior bushwalking experience - Reasonable fitness - Comfort with rough, rugged ground, scrambling, and uneven surfaces Because this is a more demanding route, the event will be waitlisted. If I don’t know you, please include a short description of your recent bushwalking experience and current fitness level. This helps ensure everyone on the day can complete the circuit safely and enjoyably. ***I reserve the right to refuse participation of people that are improperly equipped and dressed, this is a demanding trip*** I will only accept around 8/10 people on this trip **🍻 Post‑Walk** We’ll wrap up with a well‑earned drink at a Bacchus Marsh pub — the perfect way to toast a day of adventure. **Group policies** **👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. **Do NOT turn up unannounced**. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. **🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity** By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

**Albert Park Lake** For this Sunday Walk we'll be heading back to the popular Albert Park Lake. We’ll walk the tan track which runs around the entire lake. With the city skyline as the backdrop, it’s the perfect Sunday morning walk – with that all-important coffee along the way. **Start:** Meet outside the **Middle Park Hotel,** corner of **Canterbury Rd** and **Armstrong St**, Middle Park. **Start time:** 9.00 AM **Parking:** Park along Canterbury Road or in the side streets of the Middle Park Shopping Centre. **The Walk**: The walk is the well-formed tan track around the lakeside. It’s a circuit so we’ll walk around the lake and finish back at our cars. **Total distance**: 5.5 km. **Time:** Allow 2.0 hours for the walk, plus half hour for coffee. Total 2.5 hours. **Difficulty:** Easy **Toilets:** Near the start, plus at the café. **Coffee:** The **Boat Shed Café** at the yacht club on the lake.

Instagram: @findyourtribemelb Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for driven and ambitious people to reflect on the past month\, set fresh goals\, and connect with other growth\-minded individuals\. There’s something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you. 🌿**MEETING POINT** Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 2:00pm. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 2:15pm, we'll take a walk around the Tan. 🤝**CONNECTION ACTIVITY** During the walk, you’ll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes. We’ll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions on: * What worked well this past month * What challenged you or stretched your limits * Intentions or goals for the month ahead * What success and balance look like for you This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally. 👋**NEW HERE?** Welcome!

Hidden among it all stands the old **kiln chimney** — a reminder of Victoria’s early timber days — and the peaceful **water wheel**, turning slowly beside the stream. This is a place to slow down. We’ll walk through lush forest trails, listen to the sounds of water and birds, maybe spot a **koala resting high in the trees**, and take time to simply breathe. After the walk, we gather for a relaxed **picnic with fresh fruit**, followed by a short **meditation** in nature — a moment to ground, reset, and reconnect. The day finishes with a refreshing **kayak session on a calm lake**, surrounded by rolling hills and quiet reflections. This is not just a trip.
