We begin with a gentle journey out of Melbourne, easing into nature with a relaxed coffee stop before arriving in the heart of Warburton. From here, the day unfolds naturally — a beautiful 10 km walk through forest trails, open views, and quiet moments along the way. No rush, just rhythm. We pause, we breathe, we take it all in. Midday brings local flavours at the farmers market, followed by a relaxed picnic with a fresh fruit platter — simple, nourishing, shared together. In the afternoon, we step into the magical Redwoods Forest — a place to slow down even more. A short guided meditation invites you to ground, breathe deeply, and reconnect. We continue with a peaceful river walk, a scenic countryside drive, and a final stop to taste the region’s fresh local produce — a sweet finish to a full and balanced day. As the sun begins to soften, we return to Melbourne — lighter, calmer, and with a heart full of good moments. *** ### ✨ **All included. No stress.

Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure and Cafe 12 km
Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure and Cafe 12 km
**🌞 Event Title** Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure **💫 The Vibe** A three‑hour, 12 km beach‑promenade wander where sunscreen, sea breeze and slow‑burn chemistry mingle beautifully. Think sandy‑toed charm, gentle teasing, and the kind of walk where you “accidentally” fall into step with someone who laughs at your jokes. **+++Ensure you read the rules at the end before joining. Registering = agreeing to them+++** **🚉 Meeting Options** - 11:00 a.m. at Sandringham Station — gather, stretch, flirt, admire each other’s hats. Try to arrive by 10.45 a m. I may not wait for stragglers. - OR join the travelling circus on the last carriage of the Sandringham line train leaving Flinders St at ~10:17 a.m. It’s the unofficial pre‑party carriage: smiles, introductions, and the first hints of seaside adventure. **🏖️ The Walk** A long, delicious glide along the coastline, following the beach promenade past Brighton’s colourful bathing boxes, Elwood’s breezy foreshore, and the slow unfurling of St Kilda’s charm. The pace is relaxed, the conversation playful, and the scenery a perfect backdrop for gentle social alchemy. **Expect**: - Sparkly water - Flirty side‑glances - A few “wait, let’s take a photo here” moments - And the occasional dolphin‑level social energy **🍽️ Lunch Landing** We roll into Frankie’s Top Shop Café in West St Kilda for a well‑earned lunch. Think good food, relaxed vibes, and the perfect setting to keep conversations flowing. This is where the group settles, mingles, and maybe discovers who they want to walk next to on the optional extension… For people that would prefer to walk the optional city section only this could be a perfect place to start..We should be here from around 2p.m to 2.30p.m depending on how our gossip catch up goes. **➕ Optional 5 km Extension** For the adventurous, the curious, or the romantically optimistic: Taking us up to a 17km long walk. A 5 km wander from Frankie’s to Transport Bar at Federation Square, weaving through: - The shimmering loop of Albert Park Lake - The dramatic presence of the Shrine of Remembrance - The mysterious charm of the black swans - And the gentle descent into the city via the gardens We finish at Transport Bar, where snacks, drinks, and evening‑plotting unfold naturally. **🕒 Timing** - Main walk: ~3 hours, 12 km - Lunch: About 30 to 60 minutes - Optional extension: ~1.5 hours, 5 km - Entire experience: a full afternoon of sunshine, laughter, and lightly charged social chemistry **🐾 Who’s Welcome** Humans, charmers, wanderers, romantics, and anyone who enjoys a good promenade. (Pets optional but always adored.) **⚠️ Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **👟 Fitness Requirements** Walking: 3–4 km/hr We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. **⛹️ Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow** Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. **👩‍💼 Time Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS ⚠️** **👻 No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. - Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event. - No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group. - Last‑minute cancellations **(“flaking”)** may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. **👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. **Do NOT turn up unannounced**. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. **⏰ Late Arrivals** If you’re late, the group will not wait. - You may be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group. - It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up—this may not be possible for some events. **🎲 Second Chances** If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this may be impossible during the event. **🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.**
