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.

PoO26 bar crawl
Good Beer Week is cancelled but Pint of Origin 2026 is **onnnnnnn!!!!**
https://pintoforigin.com/
Location: Starting at the Lincoln in Carlton (Tasmania) then moving to Whiskey and Alement (optional), Heartbreaker (North of Yarra) and finishing at Venom Brewing (NT).
🗓️ Saturday 16 May 2026
⏰ 3PM – 7PM
***beernerds is a multiplatform group, attendance is. typically 10-20 prople including attendees on Meetup***
Every year this 10-day event crops up and I slap my own face 🤦🏽 for forgetting it (except that one year I lined up 3 events in quick succession and ended up poisoning myself!)
I'm more organised this year, so much so that the dates have been set but no final details are available regards the venues and themes (recall each venue will represent a particular region in Australia/the world).
There is a huge number of pubs and bars involved but for maximal exposure with minimal transporting logistics I propose we hit up the Central Crawl.
As above, starting at the Lincoln in Carlton who are providing a variety of Tasmanian beers we face a daunting 1.4km urban hike. Fret not, we will have 2-3 stops along the way to recoup and refuel.
My aim is to complete the crawl within 4 hours but we can see how we feel about each venue and maybe stay a little longer if the beers are particularly enjoyable.
I will do my best to monitor Meetup for messages but I don't mind sharing my contact so that you can check where we are in case you're running late.

Footscray Puppy Pub Crawl
Open to all dog lovers, dog owners, and of course your sociable pooches!
Join us for a Saturday arvo bar crawl through the vibrant, eclectic streets of Footscray — designed to be just as fun for the humans as it is for the pups.
We’ll stop by three pawsome venues, all within 1 km, each with its own unique vibe, tasty drinks, and treats for both two- and four-legged guests.
Ticketed event only - please book you tockets at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/footscray-puppy-pub-crawl-tickets-1705773036069?aff=oddtdtcreator
🥂 Stop 1 – Littlefoot Bar
Right in the heart of Footscray, this community-favourite bar is loved for its warm vibes and killer cocktails.
We’ll be seated at Littlefoot Next Door, their pop-up space, where humans can enjoy:
✨ Special-priced Espresso Martinis
✨ Special-priced “Jesica Rabbit Fiz” mocktail
Meanwhile, the doggos won’t miss out — there’ll be snacks waiting just for them!
🚶♀️ 350m walk to our next venue
🍻 Stop 2 – Mr. West Bar & Bottle Shop
With 30 taps pouring wine, cocktails, craft beers and ciders, Mr. West is a Footscray institution that defies categories — except one: dog-friendly!
Here’s the best part: the pups get to sip on Hop Nation Doggie Beers 🍺 (don’t worry, made from bone broth). Packed with nutrients for coat, joint, and gut health — it’s basically a health tonic disguised as a treat!
If the weather turns, we’ll cozy up in the courtyard upstairs.
🚶♂️ 450m stroll to our final stop
🎉 Stop 3 – Moon Dog Wild West
This venue is a playground for adults (and pups who like attention)! With 100 taps across three floors, a mechanical bull, stage, pool hall, and rooftop vibes — it’s the perfect finale.
They’ve reserved the rooftop for us, complete with:
🍟 Bowls of hot chips
🥑 Chips & guac to share
Want to stick around? Grab dinner here and keep the good times rolling.
🐶 Why join?
Because Saturday afternoons are better spent socialising over cocktails and cuddles.
Your dogs get treats, playtime, and new furry friends, while you discover some of Footscray’s best bars with like-minded dog lovers.
📌 The Nitty Gritty
All dogs must stay on-lead while visiting venues.
