Melbourne Reptile Keeping Excellence Masterclass Workshop

Sun, Oct 4, 9:00 AM
From The Reptile Keepers Masterclass Social Club

We are hosting our next gathering for The Reptile Keepers Masterclass Social Club, focusing on the practical side of reptile husbandry and maintaining long-term health for our animals. This session is designed to move beyond the basics, offering a space where we can troubleshoot common challenges, share insights on enclosure optimization, and discuss the nuances of refined keeping practices. Whether you are an experienced hobbyist or someone looking to elevate your current standards of care, this workshop is a great opportunity to connect with others who take their commitment to these animals seriously. The afternoon will be informal but focused, providing plenty of time for hands-on discussion and questions. We want this to be a genuine exchange of knowledge where everyone feels comfortable sharing what has worked for them and what hasn't. Our goal is to foster a supportive local network where we can all learn from each other's experiences in a collaborative environment. If you are interested in joining us for this session, please make sure to RSVP at your earliest convenience so we can manage numbers for the space. We look forward to seeing everyone there and hearing about your latest projects.

Sketching at Bundoora Homestead

Sketching at Bundoora Homestead

Hey Guys, For this event, we'll be sketching at Bundoora Homestead. A Queen Anne Federation styled, heritage home built in 1900 on Wurundjeri grounds by John Matthews and Vincent Smith. The property had previously served as a family home and repatriation facility before being refurbished as a public gallery in 2001. **Meetup Details:** We'll be meeting at the centre entrance at **11:00am** before making our way to the Cafe (adjacent to the exhibition entrance.) I've booked a table for 11 people. You guys can chill, draw, have something to eat/drink, and soak in the view of the Mansion gardens before viewing the exhibition upstairs. Or if you want, do it the other way around. *If you're looking to eat something substantial, I highly recommend having lunch beforehand as the cafe only serves light refreshments* **Public Transport and Parking:** **Route 86 tram** You can get off either at **Mt Cooper Dr** or **Greenwood Dr** to get to the homestead. **Mt Cooper Dr** (quicker route in my opinion) * Turn **Right onto Mt Cooper Dr** * Turn **Left at Boadle Rd** * Turn **Right on JV Smith Street (no through Road)** * **Walk Right on Snake Gully Dr** till you see a **wooden gate**, the main entrance is accessible from there. **Greenwood Dr:** * Turn Right onto Greenwood Dr and continue straight down the pathway near the cricket grounds till you see the homestead. **Parking:** * Parking is located directly in front of the venue and it's free :) Looking forward to meeting you guys there :)
