When my friend Jonathan said he was putting on a Variety Night at the Brunswick Artists' Bar, I said I'll be there. Tickets are $10 on the door, or you can book ahead paying here, and I'll put your name on the entry list. Based on past events, if you want to say hello I'll be wearing a waistcoat and tie, just say hello. My name is Luke. If you don't want to mingle and just want to watch a gig with others without the mingling, then you're welcome to just do that too.

Let’s meet in Docklands for a casual Tuesday evening: we’ll start with dinner at Gozleme Kebab, then walk over to O’Brien Icehouse for public ice skating. This is mainly a relaxed social meetup, not a serious skating session. You’re welcome whether you’re a complete beginner, a bit rusty, or already comfortable on the ice. We can take it easy, skate at our own pace, and have breaks whenever needed. If you don’t want to skate the whole time, that’s completely fine too. You can take breaks, leave early, or just come for dinner and decide from there. Solo attendees are very welcome. **Who this is for** This meetup is good for people who want a fun, casual weekday activity with a bit of movement and social time. Beginners are welcome, but please only join the skating part if you’re comfortable with the normal risks of ice skating. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6) O’Brien Icehouse: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/) Pricing / tickets: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/pricing/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/pricing/) FAQ: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/faqs/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/faqs/) Dinner location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6) **Timeline** * 6:30pm – Meet outside Gozleme Kebab Docklands * 6:30pm – 7:25pm – Casual dinner / food / chat * 7:30pm – Head to O’Brien Icehouse * Around 7:45pm – Get tickets / skates / get ready * 8:00pm – 9:30pm – Ice skating * 9:30pm – Meetup officially ends * Until 10:00pm – Optional extra skating, until the venue/session is still open **Tickets / cost** Please buy your own skating ticket.

There’s something special about St Kilda at dusk — the way the light softens over the water, the breeze carries a hint of salt, and the shoreline begins to quieten as the day exhales. Join us for an evening that blends good food, gentle movement, and one of Melbourne’s most magical wildlife moments. **WE WILL DO DINNER and then a walk down to st kilda pier where we may be lucky enough to spot a penguin** ## ✨ A Coastal Evening to Ease Into We’ll begin by gathering at the **Village Belle Hotel**, settling in over a relaxed dinner before our walk. Their **$25 parma special** (with chips and salad, including a vegetarian option) makes this an easy, comforting way to connect before we step out into the night air. ## 🌊 What You’ll See & Experience After dinner, we wander toward the marina, where the masts sway gently and the lighthouse stands quietly against the fading sky. The coastline opens beside us — soft waves rolling in, the scent of salt, the glow of the city stretching across the bay. We follow the curve of **St Kilda Beach**, then slip beneath the palms of **Catani Gardens**, where the evening breeze moves through the leaves like a slow whisper. From here, it’s a short, easy walk to **St kilda Pier**. As the sky deepens, the little penguins begin to return from the sea, emerging from the water with their soft calls and familiar waddle. if we are lucky we might see the penguins return — tiny silhouettes emerging from the darkening water, shaking off the sea and settling into their rocky homes for the night. It’s a gentle, intimate moment of wildlife on the very edge of the city, where the penguins carry on just as they did before the city expanded ## 🚶‍♀️ The Walk ***Distance: **4 km loop ** *Walking time: **30–40 minutes of gentle movement *** Grade: **Easy ** *Terrain: **Flat pathways, beachside promenades, smooth and accessible surfaces *** Pace: **Social walk — time to talk breathe and enjoy the evening ## 🎒** What to Bring** - Comfortable walking shoes - Water - A warm layer — the pier can feel cool once the sun dips - Optional: camera (no flash), small snack ## 🌤** Difficulty** Easy — suitable for most walkers. ## 🌦** Weather & Cancellations** If the weather becomes unsafe — heavy rain, strong winds, or conditions that make the pier unsuitable — the event may be postponed or cancelled. Any updates will be posted on the Meetup page, so please check before leaving home. ## ⚠️** Safety Disclaimer** This is a social, community‑led outing, not a guided or professionally supervised activity. By attending, you accept responsibility for your own safety and wellbeing. The route includes natural hazards typical of outdoor environments. Please consider your fitness and comfort level, bring suitable gear, and support others in the group as we move through the terrain. If conditions change or anything feels unsafe, we’ll adjust the plan together. Our volunteers may carry first aid supplies and communication devices to support the group, but these are not a substitute for personal preparedness. We also recommend having active ambulance cover whenever you take part in outdoor activities.
