Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have eight 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!
📵 No phone numbers, please! – Feel free to swap social media if both parties are cool with it, but let’s keep our digits private. Please don’t add people to WhatsApp or other groups.
🔞 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.
📸 Cameras welcome, but… – please refrain from taking photos of our members for privacy reasons.
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!

The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event.

Social – Welcome to new members & catch up for regulars - City
Never been to one of our meet-ups before? Been a member for a while or just joined? Either way this is the social for you!
Once a month we hold a special meet-up to welcome in new members. Regulars are encouraged to attend and help new members have a fun night out!
Our monthly “newbie” social is an opportunity to learn about our groups, events held and resources to help members.
More importantly it is an opportunity to meet others going through separation & divorce in a safe and friendly environment. We can all learn from each other, but the primary aim of the socials is to enjoy ourselves!
Our socials are hosted by members of the Divorce Support & Social Group and the Melbourne Divorce Support Group.
We pay for own food and drinks individually.
On Wednesday nights the Royal Melbourne has $20 pizza and pasta specials. Great food and great company.
We hope to see you!

Hiking for Health and Happiness!
On the third Sunday of every month we take a walk in nature.
Exercise is so important to all of us and nature has its own unique way of healing.
It helps us live in the present, enjoy our surroundings, regain balance and perspective and be pleased with ourselves for going out and doing something.
And it costs nothing except time and effort.
Our hikes are all over Greater Melbourne and afar.
Generally our walks will be 2 to 2.5 hours of moderate grade. Those who want to go more quickly can but generally we try to stay as a group and enjoy the sounds and beauty of nature together.
Please read the waiver liability before you RSVP
