All Day Events Melbourne

Coffee, Chat & Challenges

Weather permitting: Let's meet at Coulson Gardens at the Maribyrnong River. In the event of bad weather, I will announce a new location on the day, but will remain local to the Maribyrnong area. Enjoy a coffee and light refreshment on me and take a load off at the allocated area (to be confirmed on the day). Just bring your experiences and let's just have an informal chat where I will be taking notes and gathering insights into your business and where you feel you need support the most. It does not need to be bookkeeping related! I aim to gain an understanding on how to help small businesses struggling at the moment in our community, and create a group focused primarily on supporting each other by sharing experiences and making connections. This is a free peer-led social support initiative proudly hosted by Antoinette, Founder of Buddy Bookkeeping Solutions, a bookkeeping business passionate about understanding and supporting the needs of small business owners. This is a casual discussion space and does not constitute formal psychological, financial, or legal advice.

Melbourne Cup Day Lunch & Chill n Chat’s 2nd Birthday! 🏇🎉🥂

Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

Archie Bros Moorabbin $19 unlimited activities

**The Deal** I have done this before and basically we can bowl (for as long as we want so long as no one else needs the lane), play (timed) arcade games and do a mini golf round. It's exceptionally good value in my opinion. You don't have to show up at 5.30pm if it's too early - you can come later. ***\*\* Needs at least four of us to go ahead \*\**** **Parking** \- you can park on the surrounding streets after 5pm with no time limit **Bowling Lanes** \- you can't book lanes ahead of time with this deal\. We need to create the lanes when we show up and give our names to the attendants at that time\.\.\. What I mean is, if you plan on showing up later, you should comment and then possibly coordinate with others who are also showing up later so you can book a lane with your names at that time **T&Cs from Archie Bros** ***-*** *Walk in only, from 5pm. Unlimited Play offer applies to Time Play cards only, not redeemable on ticket or prize machines.* ***-*** *Offers not valid on public holidays or public holiday eves. Not redeemable with any other offer, promotion, or party package. Subject to availability. Not all activities or games may apply.* *(When I asked about availability this last time, they said if no one else comes in to bowl, we can keep bowling).*

Delightful Ladies’ Oaks Day at the Village Green Hotel

Brunswick Walk & Turkish Brunch | Approx. 7 km | Every Pace Welcome

🌿 Brunswick Morning Walk & Turkish Brunch ☕ 📅 Sunday, 8 November 2026 📍 Project Turkish Cafe, 80 Dawson St, Brunswick VIC 3056 ⏰ Meet at 8:45 am — walking starts at 9:00 am sharp! Join us for a morning walk and good company, followed by an optional Turkish brunch! Come along for the walk only or stay for both. 😊 🌳 THE WALK We’ll start and finish at Project Turkish Cafe, with a route through Royal Park and Princes Park. We’re planning approximately 2 hours of walking, returning around 11:00 am. You’re welcome to walk at your own pace. The group may spread out, and we won’t necessarily stay together or stop to regroup. Please familiarise yourself with the route and be comfortable finding your way back independently. Please arrive at 8:45 am so we’re ready to leave at 9:00 am. Allow extra time for travel and parking. Bring water, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing. 🤝 A FRIENDLY NOTE This is an informal social event organised by a volunteer. Please keep expectations relaxed and be patient if plans need to change. Everyone is responsible for their own safety, belongings and decisions about whether the walk suits their abilities. The organiser cannot supervise everyone or guarantee anyone’s safety. 🍳 BRUNCH After the walk, we’ll head back to Project Turkish Cafe for an optional brunch, planned for 11:00 am. ✅ PLEASE CONFIRM WHEN YOU RSVP: • WALK ONLY • WALK + BRUNCH Only confirmed brunch attendees will be included in the reservation.

Safari at the Werribee Open Range Zoo

Join me for a full day out at Werribee Open Range Zoo — open grasslands, a free safari bus ride past rhinos, giraffes and zebras, and keeper talks running right through the day. It's one of those places that feels a long way from the city without actually being far at all. We'll travel out together by public transport. Meet me at Boost Juice inside Southern Cross Station at 7:45am, we'll walk to the platform together and catch the 8:04am train, then the connecting bus to the zoo, arriving around 9:29am. If that's too early for you, you're very welcome to make your own way there and meet us at the zoo entrance instead — just let me know so we can look out for you. Once we're in we'll take our time: hop on the safari bus, catch a few keeper talks, wander the walking trails and stop for lunch somewhere along the way. It's a relaxed day, not a race to see everything. One important thing: a Meetup RSVP is not a zoo ticket. Zoos Victoria asks that every person pre-books their entry online, so please sort your own ticket before the day. **Who this is for** * Anyone who enjoys animals, walking and a slow, easygoing day out * Great for first-timers to the zoo and for people new to Melbourne * No fitness requirement, though there's a fair bit of walking on flat paths — comfortable shoes matter more than anything * Coming solo? Perfect. Most people do, and it's an easy group to slot into **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sfyVPt3akkGBKxrF9 * Werribee Open Range Zoo: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/ * Tickets / membership: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/whats-on/events/entry/ * Free safari bus: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/free-safari-bus/ * Animal and keeper talks: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/animal-talks/ * Interactive zoo map: https://werribeeopenrangezoo.maptivateapp.com.au/ * Cafes and facilities: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/food-and-facilities/ **Timeline** * 7:45am – Meet at Boost Juice, Southern Cross Station, and say hello * 7:50am – Head to the train platform together * 8:04am – Train departs, then the connecting bus to the zoo * 9:29am – Arrive at Werribee Open Range Zoo (or meet us here if you're travelling separately) * Through the day – Safari bus, keeper talks, walking trails and a lunch stop * 4:33pm – Catch the bus, then the train back to the city * 5:44pm – Arrive back at Southern Cross Station, and the meetup wraps up **Tickets / cost** * Everyone books and pays for their own zoo entry online in advance. * If you have a Zoos Victoria membership, bring it along. **Transport** * We're going by train and bus from Southern Cross Station, so bring a myki with enough balance to get you there and back. * Driving instead? There's parking at the zoo — just plan to meet us at the entrance around 9:30am. **Bring** * Your pre-booked zoo ticket and your myki * Water bottle * Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen — much of the zoo is open and exposed * A light jacket or rain layer * Lunch and snacks if you'd rather pack your own; otherwise there are cafes on site **Expect** * Difficulty: Easy — flat, mostly sealed paths * Pace: Relaxed, with plenty of stops * Vibe: Friendly, chatty and low-pressure * Group style: We'll stay loosely together, but you're free to peel off and explore at your own pace and rejoin us **Important notes** * This is a casual social meetup arranged so we can head out to the zoo together. It isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Zoos Victoria or Werribee Open Range Zoo. * Your RSVP here is not a ticket and doesn't guarantee entry — please book directly with the zoo. * Safari bus and talk times are set by the zoo and can change without notice, so we'll check the board when we arrive and work around whatever's running. * Public transport timetables can change or be disrupted. I'll do my best to keep everyone together, but please keep an eye on your own connections, especially on the way home. * It's an outdoor day, so dress for the weather. Some animals may be less visible in heat or rain — that's just how open range works. * Please look after yourself on the day: stay hydrated, follow all zoo rules and staff instructions, and take part within your own comfort and ability. You're joining at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety and wellbeing. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so the numbers stay clear for everyone.
