Join us for a relaxed evening walk along the beach from South Melbourne towards St Kilda Pier. We’ll follow the waterfront path, with bay views, beach paths, and a social, low-pressure pace. The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation. AllTrails also lists it as an out-and-back trail, so we can keep the plan flexible depending on how people are feeling. You can choose what suits you: * Shorter option: walk one way towards St Kilda Pier and head off from there. Trams are available nearby. * Full option: walk back with the group towards South Melbourne. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We’ll keep an easy social pace, and you’re welcome to leave early if you prefer the shorter option. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach) **Rough timeline** * 6:00pm – Meet outside South Melbourne Life Saving Club * 6:15pm – Start walking towards St Kilda * Around 7:00pm – Arrive near St Kilda Pier / short-walk finish option * 7:00–8:15pm – Return walk towards South Melbourne, with optional food or gelato depending on the group * 8:15pm – Meetup ends **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and a warm layer. **What to expect** * Distance: About 7.1 km return for the full option * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly straightforward waterfront walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do the shorter one-way option and finish near St Kilda Pier. * You can leave early if needed. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress warmly. * We’ll aim to stay together, but the route is simple and flexible. * Optional food or gelato will depend on the group on the night.

Join us for a big, social day out walking the full Capital City Trail loop around inner Melbourne. We'll follow the trail at an easy, social pace, taking in the Yarra River, Merri Creek, Royal Park, and the Docklands waterfront along the way. The full AllTrails route is about 30 km as a loop, listed as moderately challenging, but it's mostly flat so it's more about stamina than fitness. Because it's a loop that weaves through the inner suburbs, the route stays close to trains and trams, so we can keep the plan nice and flexible. You can choose what suits you: * **Shorter option:** walk part of the loop and hop off early after a comfortable distance. Trains and trams are never far away. * **Full option:** complete the whole loop with the group back towards the start. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We'll keep an easy social pace, take breaks, and you're welcome to peel off early whenever you've had enough kilometres. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/JkFZ9YEgks9ibFms5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/JkFZ9YEgks9ibFms5) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/australia/victoria/capital-city-trail](https://www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/australia/victoria/capital-city-trail) **Rough timeline** * 9:00am – Meet outside Transport Hotel entrance and say hi * 9:15am – Start walking * 12:30–1:30pm – Lunch break * Around 5:00pm – Finish walking, with optional coffee afterwards **Hop-off points (for the shorter option)** If you'd like to peel off early, here are handy exit points along the way with the nearest public transport (distances are approximate, measured from the start): * \~10 km – Skipping Girl sign, Abbotsford → Burnley St/Victoria St (Tram 109) * \~15 km – Melbourne Polytechnic, Fairfield → Heidelberg Rd bus stop (approx. 11 min walk) * \~20 km – Poplar Oval → Royal Park Station (Upfield line) * \~25 km – Woolworths, The District Docklands → D10 NewQuay Prom/Docklands Dr (Trams 35, 70 & 86) **What to bring** * Comfortable walking shoes * Warm/weatherproof layer * Water * Snacks * Sunscreen **What to expect** * Distance: About 30 km for the full loop * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly flat, straightforward path walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do a shorter section and hop off early after as many kilometres as you like — the loop stays close to public transport. * It's a long day, so bring enough water, food, and sun protection. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress accordingly. * We'll aim to stay together, but the route is well-marked and flexible. * Optional coffee at the finish will depend on the group on the day.

☕ Let’s grab coffee and talk about life as it is. Sometimes we’re not stuck. Sometimes we’re rebuilding after a difficult season. Sometimes we’re navigating uncertainty, career changes, health challenges, relationships, burnout, or simply trying to keep moving when life doesn’t go according to plan. This meetup is for people who are in a period of transition and want meaningful conversations about what it means to continue. No networking pressure. No need to have everything figured out. No need to be “successful.” Just honest conversations with thoughtful people about where we are, what we’re carrying, and what helps us keep moving. 🌊 Some questions we may explore: • What are you currently trying to continue? • What’s making that difficult? • What has changed in your life recently? • What helps you keep going when things become uncertain? • What are you learning about yourself right now? You are welcome to share, listen, reflect, or simply enjoy the conversation. Whether you’re building something new, starting over, healing, adapting, or finding your next direction, there’s a seat for you.
