FREE! - Social Day Out Warringal Parklands

**🚨 Free Social Day Out \| Social Hikes Australia 🚨** Out late at our 10K party the night before? Or just craving a Saturday that's actually fun? Either way, this one's for you. We're kicking things off at Warringal Parklands, and you pick your pace. Run it or walk it: two groups, same start, same finish. Then we roll straight into a full day of hanging out, with brunch, park games, maybe some mini golf and a bar crawl to finish the night. The best part? You decide what we get up to. We'll post a few options in the group chat, everyone votes, and we book whatever wins. Got a fun idea? Throw it in! Think of it as your third space. It's not home, and it's not work, just somewhere good people show up, hang out and leave with new mates. It's our way of giving back to the community, so it's completely free. Come solo, because most people do. 🌿 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗓️ Date: Saturday, 21 November 2026** 📍 Meeting Point: [Possum Hollow Playground, Beverley Rd, Heidelberg VIC 3084](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UzQ2wpJcxp1B8RNP6), approx. 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD 🚋 Getting There: Catch the Hurstbridge line to Heidelberg Station, then it's a short walk.

Epic Hike to Dormant Volcano | Mount Elephant

It’s again time to conquer the mighty Mount Elephant in Derrinallum! We did two events for this in 2025. This dormant volcano promises a climb to the summit with jaw-dropping views and a dose of fresh country air. Kangaroos and wallabies often hop about at the base, while hawks and eagles soar above. If you’re a YouTuber or content creator, please contact me before purchasing tickets. Please follow these two steps to confirm your spot. Step 1: Please RSVP to this event on meetup. Step 2: Please get your bus ticket via Trybooking ($99 - Early Bird, $109 - Regular) - [https://www.trybooking.com/DRADU](https://www.trybooking.com/DRADU) Bus ticket includes 10% GST. *Your spot is not confirmed until you complete steps 1 and 2.* Payments are managed through Trybooking and not Meetup. You will see an **"Unpaid"** status on your RSVP. The only thing you need is the Trybooking ticket which you will receive by email. I will manually update the meetup payment status closer to the event date if the names on Trybooking and Meetup are the same. Trybooking payments are non-refundable. There is no option to transfer the ticket to a new date. Trybooking payments will be refunded only if the event is cancelled or moved to a new date. **Meeting Point:** Let's meet in the Corner of Russell and Flinders Street (Federation Square Bus & Coach Pickup Drop-off Zone) at 9:30 AM. Please don't be late. We should be back to city around 6:30 PM. **Map:** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/5JNLSKfmehyFYYDq5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/5JNLSKfmehyFYYDq5) Please follow us on Social Media for photos, videos & updates: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@explore-melbourne) \| [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/exploremelb) \| [Facebook Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/exploremelb) \| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/xpmelb/) \| [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@exploremelbourne) \| [ExploreMelbourne.AU](https://exploremelbourne.au/) This is a rain-or-shine event.

Crater Rim Walk – Add on a 3 km loop that takes you right around the crater’s edge. Cost: Bus Ticket: $99 - Early Bird $109 - Regular Tentative list of locations we will be visiting: **1) Mount Elephant** Get ready to conquer Mount Elephant – the mighty, 380-metre-high giant that looms over Derrinallum! This dramatic cone-shaped landmark isn’t just a hill – it’s actually a dormant volcano that last erupted around 184,000 years ago. Mount Elephant is what geologists call a breached scoria cone. Translation? Picture a steep-sided mini-volcano formed in a single fiery burst of activity. In its heyday, it likely held a glowing lava lake at its heart, until the molten rock burst through its side and left the iconic “breached” look we see today. So when you hike up this ancient volcano, you’re not just walking on rock – you’re stepping into a story of fire, lava, and time itself. **2) Inverleigh** Food/Coffee stop. \* Inverleigh Bakehouse \* Sonny Café Loyalty Card Stamps for this event: If you are not using a discount code: 1 If you are using a discount code: 0 Explore Melbourne is Australia's largest meetup group, with a big social media community too.

Discover Sailing Day at Beaumaris Yacht Club

Join me for a morning on the water at Beaumaris Yacht Club's Discover Sailing Day! It's a chance to try sailing off the beach at Ricketts Point with an experienced skipper, and to see what a local sailing club is all about. The club says no experience is needed, so it's a great one if you've always wondered what sailing is like. We'll meet at the gates of Beaumaris Yacht Club at 8:45am on Sunday 29 November, say hello, then head into the club's Discover Sailing session together from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Afterwards, anyone keen can join an optional lunch nearby at Rickett's Point Beaumaris – no pressure, so feel free to head off after the sailing if that suits you better. This is a casual social meetup so we can head along together – it isn't run by or affiliated with Beaumaris Yacht Club or Australian Sailing. The session is free, but you'll need to register yourself directly with the club. A Meetup RSVP here doesn't register you for the session. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about sailing – the club says no experience is needed * People who are confident in and around the water (the club notes this is required for safety) * Anyone keen to spend a Sunday morning on the bay and meet some new people * Solo attendees are very welcome **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/UnGUxMEn3bjFyehWA * Discover Sailing Day info and registration: https://www.revolutionise.com.au/beaumarisyc/events/377415 * Optional lunch – Rickett's Point Beaumaris: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sLQD7xxoiG1GNBS48 **Timeline** * 8:45am – Meet at the gates of Beaumaris Yacht Club and say hi * 9:00am – Discover Sailing session starts * 12:00pm – Discover Sailing session ends * 12:15pm – Optional lunch at Rickett's Point Beaumaris * 1:30pm – Lunch wraps up and meetup finishes **Tickets / cost** * The session is free – the club says there's no charge for the registration or the experience. * You'll need to register yourself via the event page above (the club notes registration goes through Australian Sailing). * Please register before the day so you're on the club's list. * Lunch is optional and everyone pays for their own food and drinks. **Bring** * Clothes you don't mind getting wet, plus a change of clothes * Sunscreen, hat and sunglasses (with a strap if you have one) * Water bottle and a snack * A towel * A light spray jacket in case it's windy * A card or cash if you're staying for lunch **Expect** * Difficulty: Beginner-friendly – no sailing experience needed * Pace: Relaxed – the club and its skippers run the session * Vibe: Friendly, curious and low-pressure * Group style: We'll meet up together, then join the club's session. Boats are organised by the club, so we may end up on different boats, but we'll catch up on shore and over lunch for anyone staying. **Important notes** * Please register with the club before the day – an RSVP here isn't a registration and doesn't guarantee you a spot. * The club notes participants must be confident in and around the water. * Sailing depends on weather and conditions on the day, and the club may change or cancel things if it isn't safe. Keep an eye on the club's event page for updates. * Please take part within your own ability and follow all club rules and skipper/staff instructions. You're joining at your own risk, and you're responsible for your own safety and wellbeing on the day. * Lunch is optional – feel free to head off after the sailing. If you're staying, it helps to mention it in the comments so we have a rough idea of numbers for a table. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
