SUNDAYLICIOUS MELBOURNE| KINGS BDAY LONG WEEKEND| JUNE 7 | SUN 9pm-3am
**SUNDAYLICIOUS \| KING’S BIRTHDAY LONG WEEKEND**
**[BUY TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sundaylicious-melbourne-kings-bday-long-weekend-june-7-sun-9pm-3am-tickets-1986405843350?aff=Meetup)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sundaylicious-melbourne-kings-bday-long-weekend-june-7-sun-9pm-3am-tickets-1986405843350?aff=Meetup)
We’re heading to **Bond Melbourne** for a special long weekend edition of Sundaylicious. Think sexy nightclub energy, big music, beautiful people and a WILD Sunday night in one of Melbourne’s hottest venues.
Wurundjeri Spur Abbotsford Loop (Approx. 14km, 200m elevation - EASY/MODERATE)
Join us this King's Birthday for an inner-city trail walk. Come for a social chat and fitness walk. The loop will involve a mix of paths, both flat and paved but also some more dirt trails with more uneven ground. We will pass through Fairfield and Abbotsford. You will be expected to maintain a moderately fast pace (typical pace for Eastern Hiking and Adventures) to ensure we all stay together as a group. We are likely to finish before 1pm but I have allowed extra time as a buffer.
**Please read all of the following information before RSVP'ing.**
· *Do not FOMO into any of the Eastern Hiking & Adventure events unless you intend to attend, i.e. check the date, the distance and complexity of the walk before joining that walk. Those members who consistently are last minute withdrawals, are no shows or disrespectful to any members or leaders will be asked to remove themselves from that walk and **may be** removed from the group. All the leaders are unpaid volunteers who spend many hours of their own time researching each walk to the best of their abilities at no cost. The organisers attempt to minimise members left on the waitlist (within reason) with priority given to those loyal members who regularly attend walks and provide an enjoyable environment for others.*
**Directions**:
Enter the Melbourne Polytechnic Student carpark from Yarra Bend Road or park anywhere in a car spot nearby and meet at the carpark entrance.
**Fitness Level**:
· A good level of fitness is required as you will be expected to walk approximately 5km/hr and we will have a 15min snack rest in the middle.
**What to bring:**
*2 litres of water
- snacks or lunch
*appropriate walking shoes
- rain/wind/sun protection clothing
*SPF50 sunscreen
- personal First Aid kit
**DISCLAIMER**
· Our events may be difficult and/or hazardous. Eastern Hiking & Adventure organisers will not accept liability for any loss, injury or accident. Participants should take care, wear suitable clothing and footwear, maintain their equipment, and act appropriately in their surroundings and follow the directions of the event leader. You are responsible for your own safety. Ambulance cover is strongly recommended and by RSVP’ing to this event you indicate acceptance of these terms.
We look forward to seeing you there!
The Christophers - 4:20 p.m. Sunday 7/6 at the Nova
“The double act of McKellen and Coel has the onscreen chemistry of the year.” The Guardian.
“McKellen and Coel give a master class in line readings throughout “The Christophers.” It’s a real pleasure watching two seasoned actors bounce off each other in service to creating their characters. It’s even more delightful to see this in a film made for adults that has plenty to say about human nature, love, and the inspirations that fuel our lives.” The Boston Globe.
We will meet at the Nova bar from 3:45 p.m. onwards and meet after the screening to discuss the film. Please book your tickets early as it is a long weekend. Stefan – 0437777522.
Great Victorian Rail Trail: Tallarook to Yea Return Ride (80km)
Join me for a full-day ride on the Great Victorian Rail Trail as we cycle from Tallarook to Yea and then return back to Tallarook.
We’ll be riding around 80 km in total, so this ride is best suited to people with reasonable fitness who are comfortable riding longer distances at a steady pace.
The trail is known for scenic countryside views, relaxed rail trail riding, and the beautiful Trawool Valley section. It should be a great full-day bike adventure for anyone who is comfortable with the distance.
We’ll take the train from Southern Cross to Tallarook, start the ride from there, cycle to Yea, take breaks as needed, and then ride back to Tallarook for the return train to Melbourne.
This is not a beginner ride. Please only RSVP if you are confident riding around 80 km at an average pace of around 15 km/h.

**Rough timeline**
* 6:45am — Meet at V/Line Tickets and Information, Southern Cross Station
* 7:16am — Train departs Southern Cross for Tallarook
* Morning — Arrive at Tallarook and start the ride
* Ride Tallarook to Yea along the Great Victorian Rail Trail
* Breaks as needed along the way
* Afternoon — Ride from Yea back to Tallarook
* Return train options from Tallarook include 5:22pm, 6:43pm and 8:33pm
* Around 10:00pm — Meetup ends, depending on which return train we take
The return time will depend on group pace, breaks, weather, and train availability.
**Tickets**
Attendees will need their own valid Myki / V/Line fare for the train travel.
Please check your own fare and travel arrangements before the day.
**What to bring**
* A bicycle in good working condition
* Helmet
* Front and back lights
* Puncture repair kit
* Lunch
* Enough water
* Snacks
* Weather-appropriate clothing
* Myki / valid public transport fare
* Any personal medication or items you need for a full-day ride
**What to expect**
* Distance: Around 80 km return
* Difficulty: Moderate to challenging due to distance
* Pace: Steady average pace of around 15 km/h
* Vibe: Scenic, practical, relaxed, but still a proper full-day ride
We’ll take breaks as needed, but the group will need to keep moving at a reasonable pace so we can return to Tallarook in time for a suitable train.
**Important notes**
This event is weather dependent and will not go ahead if rain is forecast.
This event is also dependent on V/Line train availability. It may need to be cancelled or changed if there are coach replacements, timetable changes, disruptions, or other major issues.
V/Line currently notes that bicycles can be carried on trains only if space is available, so bike carriage is not guaranteed. Please be prepared for that possibility.
Please make sure your bike is in good working condition before the day. You should be able to manage basic issues such as a puncture, or at least bring the tools and supplies needed.
This ride is best suited to people who are already comfortable riding longer distances. If you are unsure whether 80 km at around 15 km/h is suitable for you, this may not be the right event.
**Other info**
Please check the weather forecast and V/Line service status closer to the day.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
