#### **General Description**
🚙 **Carpooling Makes It Happen**
Wilderness Seekers Victoria runs on community spirit, and carpooling is a big part of that. Every seat offered means another hiker can join the adventure. Fewer cars, easier logistics, more fun together.
Carpooling is a great way to start the day by meeting new people, sharing a few laughs, and arriving at the trail together. Drivers, your contribution makes a huge difference, and passengers, your gratitude keeps it all running smoothly. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the Wilderness Seekers Victoria experience. 🚗🌿
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
👉 **Carpool Driver information**
If you’ve got spare seats and don’t mind some company, offering a lift is one of the best ways to kick off the day 🚙💨. It makes the trip more fun, helps out fellow hikers who don’t have a car, and is an easy way to make a few friends before we even hit the trail. Plus, fewer cars means less parking stress and a smoother start for everyone.
For passengers, it’s the easiest way to get to the trail, meet new people and enjoy the ride together instead of travelling alone. In our Wilderness Seekers Victoria community, many people are more than happy to help out those without cars; it’s part of what makes these days feel so welcoming and connected.
✨ Best practice: Passengers should try to secure transportation before purchasing a ticket to avoid any last-minute stress.
**Important Carpooling Note**
Drivers and passengers should stick with 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, Wilderness Seekers Victoria (and your driver) is **not liable** for any inconvenience caused. For this reason, it is best to keep things simple with the driver you first arranged with.
In the transport chat, drivers will share their preferred pick-up locations, often major CBD train stations like Parliament, Richmond, South Yarra, Southern Cross, or North Melbourne.
For the **Hike on 25 January**, the nearest station to the trail is [Dandenong](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MJVQNFPH4a78LATaA?g_st=ic "https://maps.app.goo.gl/MJVQNFPH4a78LATaA?g_st=ic") / [Narre Warren](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gQXjs5x9aCDFz2qG9?g_st=ic "https://maps.app.goo.gl/gQXjs5x9aCDFz2qG9?g_st=ic"), though drivers may choose whichever spot is most convenient for them. Passengers can then join from those locations.
For the **Picnic on 26 January**, the nearest station to the picnic is [Lilydale](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vrVBhyJRCbgWG1jk8 "https://maps.app.goo.gl/vrVBhyJRCbgWG1jk8"), though drivers may choose whichever spot is most convenient for them. Passengers can then join from those locations.

Morning Nature Walk – Botanical Gardens Reset
Start your day with calm, clarity, and connection.
This is a **gentle walk** through Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens — ideal if you’ve been feeling stressed, disconnected, or just need a fresh start. We’ll move at a slow, mindful pace, take in nature, chat if we feel like it, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Route: https://walkingmaps.com.au/walk/3847
This isn’t a workout or a photography tour — though you’re welcome to take photos. It’s simply a **reset** — a way to feel human again, without pressure.
**☕ Optional:** Coffee after the walk
**🎒 Bring:** Comfy shoes, water, optional camera or journal
**🧠 Mood:** Gentle, quiet, open to connection but no pressure to talk

Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio.
Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Meet in the Maple Grove Picnic area. If trail conditions are poor, we will use the Multipurpose Path.
COLUMBUS SPIRITUALITY MEETUP
We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !!
Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :)
Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson
Namaste, Frank Tennyson
