Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have seven simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.
❌ **Not a dating group!** – We’re here to make friends, not find soulmates. No flirty business, please!

🔞 Our events are only **open to people aged 18 and older**.
📢 Please **do not advertise other events or groups**.
😅 **Don’t be a social octopus!** – Give people space to chat with others. Please don't be clingy.
🚗 We **don't allow carpooling** due to safety incidents/our public liability insurance not covering motor related accidents.
💰 **No sales pitches!** – No selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes, no “life-changing mentorship” offers—let’s keep things scam-free.
By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise 🤝 that you’ll follow the rules. Break them, and—poof!—you’re out for good. No second chances, no do-overs. Let’s keep it fun, friendly, and drama-free!

Planetarium Nights: The Dark Matter Mystery + WITST at Scienceworks
Join me for a relaxed Friday night visit to Melbourne Planetarium at Scienceworks for Planetarium Nights.
We’ll be attending the 7:30pm astronomy-focused session: The Dark Matter Mystery (38 min) + What’s in the Sky Tonight (WITST).
This should be a nice, low-pressure evening for anyone curious about space, astronomy, and big mystery-of-the-universe questions. The show explores what dark matter might be, why scientists think it exists, and why it remains one of the biggest unsolved puzzles in astrophysics.
The session also includes What’s in the Sky Tonight, a presenter-led tour through the night sky.
I’ll be there from 7:10pm so we can meet, say hello, and head in before the session starts at 7:30pm.
This is an adults-only 18+ event.

*Looking to meet new people, explore nature, and have a good laugh along the way?*
This is your perfect Sunday plan! 🎉
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Melbourne Social Hike. A welcoming day out where the focus is all about fun, friendships and fresh air. Whether you come solo or bring a mate, you’ll leave with new connections and memories!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🚙 Carpooling Makes It Happen**
At Social Hikes Australia, carpooling is a big part of what makes our hikes possible. Every extra seat means another person gets to join. Fewer cars, easier logistics, and a more social, fun start to the day.
Carpooling is also a great way to meet people before the hike even begins, share a few laughs, get to know each other, and arrive together. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the experience 🌿
💡 Carpool tickets are offered at a discounted price to encourage drivers to offer seats and make the hikes accessible for everyone.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
👉 **For Drivers**
If you’ve got spare seats, offering a lift makes a big difference. It helps others join, reduces parking stress and makes the ride more enjoyable from the start.
👉 **For Passengers**
Passengers are to contact drivers directly using the details provided in the carpool sheet (linked at the top of the description). The sheet shows information from carpooler tickets (Drivers Offering Seats).
✨ **Best practice:** Try to organise your ride before purchasing a ticket to avoid last-minute stress.
**Please note:** Drivers and passengers should stick to the arrangements they make. We do not recommend swapping drivers or cars after you’ve agreed on a ride. If you do decide to change, please make sure all parties are clearly informed and agree to avoid confusion.
If a driver forgets, gets mixed up, or doesn’t pick you up, Social Hikes Australia (and your driver) are **not liable** for any inconvenience caused. For this reason, it is best to keep things simple with the driver you first arranged with.
⚠️ **Important Notes**
* Please stick with the carpool arrangement you agree on.
* Avoid swapping drivers unless everyone is clearly informed and agrees.
* Petrol, parking, and other costs are not included in the ticket price. These should be agreed directly between the driver and passengers.
* Social Hikes Australia is not responsible for any issues with private carpool arrangements.
📍 **Pick-Up Info**
Drivers will share their preferred pick-up locations, such as major CBD train stations like Parliament, Richmond, South Yarra, Southern Cross, or North Melbourne.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🤩 Why Join?**
🌟 Make new friends in a relaxed, casual way.
🌟Enjoy nature and fresh air while meeting like-minded people your age
🌟Friendly vibes full of laughs, chats and good times guaranteed
🌟You never know. Today’s hiking buddy could be tomorrow’s uni mate, housemate, or travel buddy!
🌟Your safety is our priority. Equipped with a first aid kit on hand.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🎟️ **Tickets:**
**All tickets are $20 per person.**
This helps cover:
* Public liability insurance
* A $2.40 contribution per ticket directly to Parks Victoria
* Experienced guides with a tour operator license who know the trails well

🚗 **Carpoolers Discount**

\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🥾 What to Bring:**
👟 Comfy hiking shoes
💧 2–3L of water
🥪 Snacks/lunch
☀️ Sun protection (hat, sunnies, sunscreen)
🦟 Bug spray (always a good idea)
🎒 Optional: hiking poles, wet weather gear/raincoat
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
📌 **How It Works:**
After purchasing your ticket, you’ll receive a link to our private Instagram group chat.
All final details will be shared there: Hike route, meet-up location and any last-minute updates.
Friendly pace, friendly faces! This hike is intentionally slow–medium so everyone can enjoy and chat along the way.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🍽️ **Food Arrangement**
After our hike, we love keeping the good vibes rolling with a meal together. We’ll suggest a café or restaurant that’s usually on the way back toward the city**,** so it’s easy for everyone and avoids extra driving.
It’s always a highlight of the day swapping stories from the trail, sharing laughs, and getting to know your fellow hikers even better over some good food.
Joining is optional, but most people stick around because it’s such a fun way to finish the adventure. Everyone just covers their own meal, and we’ll confirm the spot in the Instagram group chat on the day.
When booking, you’ll be asked if you’d like to join: Yes / No / Not Sure. The organisers will confirm the restaurant or bar on the day, based on feedback.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**⚠️ Important:**
Must be 18+ years old to attend.
Hike at your own risk. You are responsible for your own safety and belongings.
Respectful, kind behaviour is a must. We are a positive and welcoming community.
Zero tolerance for any unwelcome behaviour. We’re here to have fun, together!
For this hike, we recommend that all participants download the AllTrails app before the event. This will help you:
* View the trail map in advance
* Track your progress during the hike
* Stay on course in case you get separated from the group
Having AllTrails ensures everyone can enjoy the hike safely and confidently.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

**🌧 Rain Policy**
If the forecast shows over 15 mm in 6 hours or 20+ mm during the day, we may postpone or adjust the hike to keep things safe and enjoyable. Slippery trails, flooding, and poor visibility are no fun or safe.
We’ll also reschedule for thunderstorms or if trails are still soaked from heavy rain the days before.
Light rain (under 5 mm/hour) is usually fine. We’ll check each hike case-by-case. Safety first 🌿
If it changes and gets heavier, we’ll reschedule for the following Sunday, 17 May 2026, instead.

Free In-Person Event: Handle Self-Confidence & Motivation to Achieve Your Goals
This is an in-person meeting.
Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living.
Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation.
This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome:
-Out-of-control unwanted emotions
-Low self-esteem
-Anxiety
-Negativity
-Stress
-Irrational fears
-Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents
-Breakups
-Betrayals
-Feeling like you're not really yourself
-Self-doubt...
We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup!
