This is a coffee meetup for creative people to share/talk about their current projects. Whether it's writing, a website, art, starting a business, knitting/crafts or anything at all creative (be creative with the descriptor 'creative'), come along and share your progress with other like-minded people. This cafe requires a credit card for booking so I'm just going to show up and grab a table. I'll be waiting out the front of Caffe Greco at 1pm.

Solar Tour at Melbourne Observatory

Solar Tour at Melbourne Observatory

Sun, Aug 9, 2:30 AM
From Melbourne Social
4.9

Let’s meet for a daytime astronomy experience at Melbourne Observatory, inside Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. The Solar Tour is a guided session focused on observing the Sun safely through historic telescope equipment and learning about solar astronomy. It’s a nice option if you’re curious about space, science, history, or just want to try something a bit different on a Sunday afternoon. We’ll meet at The Observatory Cafe at 12:30pm, say hello, then head over together for the 1pm tour/session. This will be relaxed, friendly, and low-pressure. You’re very welcome to come solo. **Who this is for** This is for anyone interested in astronomy, science, history, the Royal Botanic Gardens, or relaxed cultural activities. No astronomy knowledge is needed. Curious first-timers are very welcome. **Links** * Meetup start point: * [https://maps.app.goo.gl/bhjyLkyred7RTRwv9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bhjyLkyred7RTRwv9) * Event / ticket: * [https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/melbourne-gardens/whats-on-melbourne/solar-tours/](https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/melbourne-gardens/whats-on-melbourne/solar-tours/) **Timeline** * 12:30pm — Meet at The Observatory Cafe and say hello * 12:45pm — Check-in for the tour * 1:00pm — Solar Tour / session starts * 2:30pm — Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** * Tickets are required. * Bookings are essential, and each attendee is responsible for booking their own correct 1pm Solar Tour ticket. * Please note that a Meetup RSVP does not include entry to the tour. You’ll still need to book your own ticket through the official event/ticket link. * Ticket availability can change, so it’s best to book early if you’re planning to come. **Transport** The meetup is at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, near Melbourne Observatory / The Observatory Cafe. Please allow enough time to get there, especially if using public transport or walking from nearby tram stops. We’ll meet at 12:30pm so there’s time to say hello before the 1pm session. **Bring** * Your ticket / booking confirmation * Weather-appropriate clothing * Water * Comfortable shoes * Sunglasses or a hat **Important notes** * Please book your own ticket for the correct 1pm Solar Tour session. * The tour involves safe solar viewing through guided equipment. Please follow the guide’s instructions and never look directly at the Sun without proper approved equipment. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.

Milkyway in Premium Location - One Solo Photo

Milkyway in Premium Location - One Solo Photo

Fri, Aug 14, 8:10 AM
From Explore Melbourne
4.6

Please note that **this event is not open for photographers** (no option to bring Camera/GoPro or tripod). I will be taking photos of people with the Milkyway. Cameras and tripods aren’t allowed due to past accidents that led to damaged cameras/lenses and injuries in the dark. We have done over 200 Milkyway events. Please read the group rules before signing up. Please follow these two steps to confirm your spot: \*\* Trybooking tickets will be posted once this event is confirmed based on the weather forecast. The event is usually only confirmed a day in advance \*\* We will scan Trybooking tickets at the meeting point. Please note that Trybooking tickets will only be refunded if the event is moved or cancelled. Trybooking Tickets are non-refundable. There is no option to also transfer the ticket to a new date. 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. **Meeting Point**: Let's meet in the Corner of Spencer Street and Bourke Street (Station Side - Near the steps) at 6:10 PM and head to one of the **premium locations** (100km away from Melbourne). Driving to the destination is not an option for any of our stargazing events. We should be back in the CBD around 11:30 PM. **Meeting Point Photo**: [https://bit.ly/2SkyVL2](https://bit.ly/2SkyVL2) \*\* Please make sure you bring your Myki. Please ensure that it has atleast $11 or have myki Zone 1/2 pass. Please ensure that your myki money is added before coming to the meeting point. \*\* Please carry a warm jacket.

I take one solo photo for everyone with the Milkyway. These events are not aimed at photographers. Location: For the safety of people attending the event and flexibility to change location at the last minute based on the weather forecast, we will only share the location details with people at the meeting point. For the safety of people attending future events, please do not share the Milkyway location with anyone. Also, please do not tag the location when sharing photos on Social Media. The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most interesting naked eye sights in the night sky. We live under light-polluted skies, and to see a glimpse of the Milkyway, we need to travel outside the city. We run Milkyway events near Melbourne (40-50km away) and events in premium locations (over 80-100km from Melbourne CBD). We will mention premium events on the title of the event. Many Solo and some group photos from previous events: [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1F0fE1-s4mkkNIi1oATIVBE3I5riDTRO3](https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1F0fE1-s4mkkNIi1oATIVBE3I5riDTRO3) 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/) Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia.

By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise 🤝 that you’ll follow the rules. Break them, and—poof!—you’re out for good. No second chances, no do-overs. Let’s keep it fun, friendly, and drama-free! **Liability Waiver:** The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event.
