Let's spend a Friday evening exploring one of the universe's greatest mysteries — black holes — with astrophysicist Matt O'Dowd. Matt is the host of PBS Space Time, and he'll unpack the science behind these extraordinary cosmic objects: how they form, how they warp space and time, and what they can reveal about the origins and future of our universe. Expect cutting-edge research told through engaging storytelling. This talk is part of the University of Melbourne's 2026 July Lectures in Physics — a free public lecture series that has brought world-leading physicists to Melbourne every Friday in July since 1968. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure meetup for anyone curious about space, physics, or just a fascinating night out. You're very welcome to come solo. We'll meet outside first, say hello, then head in together. After the lecture there's a reception in the foyer of the Sidney Myer Asia Centre — free refreshments and a chance to chat about what we just heard. It's in the same building as the theatre, so we'll just step out into the foyer and hang out as a group before wrapping up around 8:00pm. **Who this is for** This event may suit you if you enjoy: * Astronomy, astrophysics, and space science * Big questions about the origins and future of the universe * PBS Space Time / science communication * Free, brain-tickling Friday night events * A relaxed, solo-friendly social meetup No physics background needed — just curiosity. **Links** * Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dq1ipx5mVQNawPtb9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dq1ipx5mVQNawPtb9) * Free tickets / event page: [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/black-holes-with-matt-odowd-tickets-1989800667360](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/black-holes-with-matt-odowd-tickets-1989800667360) **Timeline** * 5:45pm — Meet outside the Carrillo Gantner Theatre entrance and say hi * 6:00pm — Lecture starts * 7:00pm — Lecture ends * 7:00pm – 8:00pm — Reception in the foyer (refreshments + a chat) * 8:00pm — Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** * This event is free, but you still need to book your own free ticket through Eventbrite. * A Meetup RSVP does not include entry to the lecture. Please book a separate free ticket. * Free tickets for these lectures are popular and can run out, so it's worth booking early if you're sure you want to come. **Bring** * Your ticket / booking confirmation * Warm clothes — it's a July evening * Curiosity about space and black holes **What to expect** * Vibe: relaxed, low-pressure, solo-friendly * Group style: we meet before the lecture, watch the talk together, then stay for the reception * Session style: an engaging, accessible public lecture — no physics background required **Important notes** * Please book your own free ticket on Eventbrite — a Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in. * Doors open at 5:40pm and the lecture starts at 6:00pm, so please arrive by 5:45pm so we can head in together. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.

**✨Are you tired of making ‘how are you’ friends? This event is for you!✨** 🎨What better way to build and deepen connections than through a fun activity like **Figurine painting**! There are many social events but it isn’t easy to feel connected to someone in a large group setting. I am super extroverted yet found myself walking home after a great social feeling more lonely, because of all the superficial connections made. I started Hue&Crew to help people build their next close-friend circle based on age, personality and interest! 🎨**What to Expect** This isn’t a big mixer event, every event has a limit of 6 people per table and a fishbowl full of conversation starters to help people get started! We move around Melbourne's many beautiful cafes weekly to keep things fresh! Expect: * A fresh, comfy venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly quiet * A fishbowl of conversation starters for the introverts * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * Hand-painted figurines you made yourself to bring home Each group is curated to feel natural, matched by age, interest and personality 🎨**Notice before you sign up:** As the events are really small and it might take some time to form a group with similar interests, we will inform you when there is a suitable group for you! **RSVP now:** [https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9](https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9) **Take a look at our instagram page to see past public events**👇 [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) **Bring a friend for a 10% Discount for the both of you!**

A Quiet Art Evening (Self-Guided) Saturday, 4 July, 6:00pm — 8:00pm Venue: 5 Ellingworth Parade, Box Hill This is a quiet, self-guided (untutored) space to slow down, create, and spend time alongside others. Bring your own materials and something you’d like to work on. It’s an evening to create unhurriedly in a shared space — to make, reflect, and simply be. Through art, we hope to create a gentle space for connection, encouragement, and shared presence. We hope this will become a simple monthly rhythm — a place to keep returning to, to create, connect, and enjoy the process together. If this resonates with you, feel free to RSVP here. PS. A $5 contribution each participant will help cover venue hire, as well as tea/coffee, and biscuits. Limited places — only for people who RSVP. If RSVP is full, message us directly to check availability.
