Local Activities

Come join the Casey Queer Collective for a social night and meet some local queers in the city of Casey and surrounds. This is a monthly event and held on the 4th Monday of every month. The vibe of this event is casual and low-pressure. It's a space to socialise, share food and make friends. 🎲 Each month we will have a new theme or activity. This month's activity will be board games. Feel free to bring along a board game to play! 📅 Monday 22nd June @ 7pm 📍 Berwick - meeting location will be sent to registered attendees. 🍔 Bring a plate of food or drinks to share. 💰 Gold coin donation + once off $15 membership fee if you attend more than once. If it's your first time joining us, you're welcome to trial the social night before you pay the membership fee. However, anyone attending more than once needs to become a member. This ensures we're covered by insurances and helps keep our costs low. The aim of this event is to create space for queer people to socialise and build community. There are so few spaces dedicated specifically to us, especially in the outer suburbs. If you are an ally or supporter, we appreciate you. However please mindful that this event is a dedicated space for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ only. Please reach out to Charli Violet or caseyqueercollective@gmail.com if you have any questions or join the[ private Facebook grou](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CfmGFAz6C/)p for updates

Join us for a relaxed evening walk along the beach from South Melbourne towards St Kilda Pier. We’ll follow the waterfront path, with bay views, beach paths, and a social, low-pressure pace. The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation. AllTrails also lists it as an out-and-back trail, so we can keep the plan flexible depending on how people are feeling. You can choose what suits you: * Shorter option: walk one way towards St Kilda Pier and head off from there. Trams are available nearby. * Full option: walk back with the group towards South Melbourne. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We’ll keep an easy social pace, and you’re welcome to leave early if you prefer the shorter option. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach) **Rough timeline** * 6:00pm – Meet outside South Melbourne Life Saving Club * 6:15pm – Start walking towards St Kilda * Around 7:00pm – Arrive near St Kilda Pier / short-walk finish option * 7:00–8:15pm – Return walk towards South Melbourne, with optional food or gelato depending on the group * 8:15pm – Meetup ends **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and a warm layer. **What to expect** * Distance: About 7.1 km return for the full option * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly straightforward waterfront walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do the shorter one-way option and finish near St Kilda Pier. * You can leave early if needed. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress warmly. * We’ll aim to stay together, but the route is simple and flexible. * Optional food or gelato will depend on the group on the night.

You don't need all the answers, only a few. Join one of our tables for a fun night with old friends or new. A stress free relaxed night with some locals. There's trivia, food and a few drinks if that's your thing. We don't bite. A $20 deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night once you arrive. This is to cut down on no shows.

If you are on TikTok like I am, or you are around kids who know about all the latest crap that comes up on the internet like skibbidy toilets and what not, then you've probably heard of the Backrooms... Well now there's a movie. I'm very curious to see what they do with the concept. I wanted to go see this Friday night, but the only session time is at 9.30pm and you know, I don't want to be in Dandenong at 11pm on a Friday night waiting at a station to catch a bus or a train. So Sunday afternoon it is! Let me know if you're definitely coming and we can buy tickets ahead of time in the same seating area. As always, there is the option to have snacks/coffee afterwards at Dandenong Square (no longer Dandenong Plaza). #### Backrooms Sustained threat, violence and coarse language 1hr 45mins•Horror•Mystery•Sci-Fi A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom. #### Cast Mark Duplass, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Finn Bennett, Avan Jogia, Lukita Maxwell #### Director Kane Parsons #### Release date Thu 28 May 2026 #### Classification Sustained threat, violence and coarse language #### Duration 1hr 45mins
