Yarra and Botanics Walk discussing 'The Emperor of Gladness' by Ocean Vuong
We'll meet at the spot where Fed Square meets the Princes Bridge over the Yarra (near the pedestrian crossing closest to the river from Flinders St, on the Fed Square side).
We'll walk for about 6km along the Yarra River, through the Botanic Gardens and back along the river to Federation Square for a coffee after the walk.
This month, we're reading and talking about 'The Emperor of Gladness' by Ocean Vuong
The blurb:
"**Ocean Vuong returns with an achingly beautiful novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive.**
One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond, one built on empathy, spiritual reckoning, and heartbreak, with the power to alter Hai’s relationship to himself, his family, and a community at the brink.
Following the cycles of history, memory, and time, *The Emperor of Gladness* shows the profound ways in which love, labor, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Vuong’s writing – formal innovation, syntactic dexterity, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness – are on full display in this story of loss, hope, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance."
Goodreads rating: 3.93
How does a walking bookclub work?
Like a normal bookclub, we talk about the book, what else we're reading, have read, or want to read (as well as a few tangents into life outside literature!) but we do it while walking around Melbourne and then over a coffee. We often split into smaller groups as we walk, but we also regroup through the walk.
Should I read the book beforehand?
The conversation will be more interesting if you do, but you can still come along if you haven't finished it yet!
Do I need to bring anything?
**Comfy** walking shoes, drinking water, some money for coffee or a bite to eat after if you wish. No need to bring the book unless you want to.
No shows
No shows (RSVPing yes and not attending) mean the group waits unnecessarily for those who are not coming, thinking you are running a little late. It’s absolutely fine to change your rsvp for any reason up until the walk begins, and you don’t need to leave a comment, send a message or give a reason, but if you don't click that 'change rsvp' button, you may be removed from the group.
Membership Fee
Did you know that while it is free to attend most events, Meetup charges organisers about $600 a year to organise a group? Members of the Walking Book Club are asked to pay a membership fee of $10 per year (not per event) to help cover this cost. When you join the group, you'll be automatically given a three month trial so you can see what the group is like, without needing to make any payment. If you would like to continue attending events after this, please follow Meetup's instructions to pay the $6.50US/approx $10AUD fee once per year (or contact group organisers if you would prefer to make payment using paypal, payID, cash or bank transfer).

314 Movement Launch (and Mini-Workshop)
**Registration Required** (there are no free tickets available as at 3/03 - hardship tickets available upon request):
[https://events.humanitix.com/314](https://events.humanitix.com/314)
At **[LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne](https://www.instagram.com/lgbtsocialhubmelb/)**, we're primarily driven by improving mental health and wellbeing within the queer community - that's why accepting the offer to join the **314 Movement** was a very easy choice for us, and we're incredibly proud to announce our involvement in the launch and beyond.
We'll be there at the launch, along with several other community leaders, organisations, and sponsors - and we'll be providing a **mini-workshop on core values**; we'd absolutely love it if you'd join us!
**The 314 Movement Launch**, presented by **[Euphoria Social](https://www.euphoriasocial.org/)**, introduces Australia’s first peer-led LGBTQIAPN+ mental health initiative built around a simple, repeatable daily check-in:
**3 Gratitudes.**
**1 Support.**
**4 Breaths.**
Held outdoors at the Edinburgh Gardens Rotunda in North Fitzroy, the free community picnic marks the public launch of the **[314 Movement](https://v8k6.engage.squarespace-mail.com/r?m=69847070ddf42e3db32bf09f&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F314movement%2F&w=62c3869e724bdb47d14abb9a&c=b_698461b648b6a24a13f25965&l=en-US&s=UEA3uKxf6rPbuWKqvNtq7nqEZ-Q%3D)** — a grassroots response to the growing mental health challenges faced by LGBTQIAPN+ communities, where formal services are often inaccessible, overstretched, or not affirming.
LGBTQIAPN+ communities experience disproportionately high levels of psychological distress, yet stigma and systemic barriers continue to limit early help-seeking. The 314 Movement aims to bridge this gap through a low-pressure, peer-led approach that prioritises connection over diagnosis.

Unity GameDev Hangout – Tools, Workflows & Open Discussion
This is a relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup.
There’s no strict agenda this time — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas.
**Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest):**
• Frame Debugger & performance tooling
• Addressables & additive scene workflows
• Input System, localization, responsive UI
• AI integration approaches
• DevOps & LiveOps experiences
• Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing
• Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems
• Weird Unity quirks we’ve all run into
*Nothing is locked in.*
Bring a project if you’d like.
Bring a question.
Bring a lesson learned.
Or just come hang out and meet other developers.
All skill levels welcome!
