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!
📵 **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.
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!
**Liability Waiver:**
The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event. By participating in this event, you're taking responsibility for your safety and well-being. By joining this event, you agree to the liability waiver mentioned here: [https://exploremelbourne.au/explore-melbourne-liability-waiver/](https://exploremelbourne.au/explore-melbourne-liability-waiver/)
The Sheep Detectives
Hi all,
This week's film, The Sheep Detectives, will be screening at 6:40pm in cinema 6. I was sceptical of the idea of putting a wolverine in charge of a flock of sheep but the trailer allayed my fears.
Lisa will be hosting and will be in the usual meeting spot [read on for details] from 6:30pm.
Cheers!
**--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--**
Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie.
**--=>+ The Film +<=--**
In this irresistably witty mystery, shepherd George (Hugh Jackman) reads detective novels to his beloved flock every night, assuming they couldn't possibly understand him. But, when a mysterious incident upends life on George's farm, the sheep realise they must solve the crime. Summoning the knowledge they've learned from listening to George's stories, the animals begin to investigate their human suspects.
Starring Emma Thompson, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine and Hong Chau, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES features the voice talents of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Brett Goldstein, Patrick Stewart and Chris O'Dowd.
**--=>+ Tickets +<=--**
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.
**--=>+ Afterwards+<=--**
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.
If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.
