Sunday Bus: Coliban Aqueduct and Fryers Ridge - 13km and 16km - 14 June
**WALK DESCRIPTION:**
This walk is mainly along the Coliban water channel just to the west of the small town of Taradale, which is now bypassed by the Calder Freeway. First opened in 1877 this water supply system has been delivering water to Castlemaine and Bendigo for more than 140 years. The standard of the stonework and brickwork is very high and has stood the test of time.
The Easy group walks most of their length beside the aqueduct. The track here is largely a wide, gently undulant fine gravel and dirt track, at times slightly rocky, but with no steep sections or any with steep drop-offs and is generally easy walking. However this group leaves the aqueduct several times and here the track here is narrower and has a few short steep sections but again with no drop-offs and again is also easy walking.
The Easy/Med group for most of their route duplicates the Easy path however ventures away from the aqueduct for the last 4 km, first through forest with no defined track for about 1 km. Here the forest is quite open with minimal underbrush and headway is quite easy. After this we walk on unmade roads and bush tracks before meeting the Easy group at the end. In this section there are one or two steep sections of several hundred metres.
Please carry at least 2 litres of water and bring a change of shoes for the trip back.
.
**DISTANCE(S):** 13km and 16km
.
**TOTAL ASCENT(S):** 75m Rise and 300m Rise
.
**GRADINGS:** Easy and Easy/Medium
**Easy (E):** Walking mostly on tracks or in open country, with possibly some stretches of light scrub. Few hills and adequate rest stops. Distances may be up to 15km in flat open terrain but will be shorter if scrub or significant hills are involved.
**Easy/Medium (E/M):** More consistent walking, mostly on tracks or in open country, but with some significant hills, probably some stretches of light scrub. Possibility of some rock hopping. Distances up to 19km but may be much shorter depending on the difficulty of the terrain. Reasonable lunch and rest stops.
**.**
**PLEASE NOTE:** Your RSVP on MeetUp lets us know who may be interested but does not add you to the booking list. To register and pay for the walk you must visit our clubrooms (details below). Come join our many members who will also do this walk!
.
**HOW TO BOOK AND PAY:**

There is no way for them to get back to their transport. We can arrange for a pick-up and drop-off at a designated location along the route closer to Melbourne, however, the full bus fee is still payable since a seat has to be kept free on the bus.

An Introduction to Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry is the study of patterns, proportions, and forms found throughout nature, art, architecture, and the cosmos. From the spirals of shells to the symmetry of flowers and ancient temples, these geometric relationships have long been understood as expressions of harmony and interconnectedness.
This introductory talk will explore the symbolic and philosophical foundations of sacred geometry, offering insight into how shape, number, and pattern have been used across cultures as bridge between creativity, spirituality and the natural world.
This talk will be presented by Tara Baker, artist and theosophist, who graduated from RMIT with a degree in Fine Arts, who has worked as Events’ Coordinator at the Melbourne Lodge, tended to the Mystic River Gallery and given workshops on sacred geometry and mandalas around Melbourne. Her own mandalas are drawn with an exquisite sensitivity to the power of conscious intention and hold the spirit of her own sacred explorations of creativity.
**The MTS is committed to providing events that align with and further The three objects of The Theosophical Society:**
* To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.
* To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.
* To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in the human being.
However this being stated, the MTS does not endorse any health, spiritual, science-related, philosophical or theological /other assertions or claims made by any facilitator we host.
Learn coding basics (even if you've never coded before)
Hi all!
We are looking to build a community here, so if you interest is just to get into coding, please come along and we can help out - all levels and interests are more than welcome.
All levels of coding are welcome! We can continue doing some basic coding using HTML, CSS, and maybe some JS if we are feeling up to it (I'll teach if people are interested). Usually there will be some people around to help anyone with issues.
We are also holding these sessions for anyone to come along and ask questions about the course. We know it's a big decision and a lot of money, and we are keen to give you as much information as you need to make the right call.
https://liskov.dev
We are offering some more structured content for anyone interested:
### CV advice
Are you currently applying for jobs? Come along to get some advice on:
* Resume
* Cover letters
* Portfolio
* Code challenges
* Interviews
### Build and deploy your first webpage I
What is HTML and how does it work? In this session we’ll:
* Install a code editor
* Generate an HTML document
* Learn how the browser understands markup
* Add some content and styling
* Deploy your basic webpage to the world!
(Deploy is via drag and drop to Netlify)
### Build and deploy your first webpage II
Coming in future weeks.
Depends on the progress we make.
### Bootcamp info session
Thinking about doing Liskov bootcamp? Come along to meet Matt and get all your questions answered.
### Q and A with a former student
Meet a former student now working as a developer. Ask them anything! If we get a few starters we'll get a few ex-students along for a chat.
### Types of career paths/jobs in the IT industry
For people who are thinking of changing careers or moving to an adjacent/related role in IT. Apparently there are event people who use UX design as a stepping stone to a programming career (seems like a long and windy road though).
These will occur at least once a fortnight, so if you miss one you can get to the next one - the schedule will be updated on the site, and here.
Here's a list of some of the activities that we could play around with if there are a few people there (will depending on timing and attendance):
* Basics of getting into coding (Beginners HTML, CSS, JS)
* Coding in [Rooms.xyz](http://rooms.xyz/)
* Q and A
* BYO issues (we solve their problems if we can)
* Build a webpage in quick time
* Notion tutorial
* SpaceTeam
* What are the jobs and industries that these courses lead to (with examples)?
Come and have a chat!

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
