There appears to be an overflow of people interested in escaping the city and heading for the hills to breath in some fresh Victorian air and draw in the pleasures of nature. I was initially hoping to simply join an established group but when hikes are booked and RSVP’s closed up to 4 months in advance it has me realising that Melbourne Meetups is in definite need of another hiking club (or as we call it in Kiwiland ‘Tramping’ club)!

This is a group for anyone who loves fly fishing and fly tying. We aren't hardcore fly fishing gurus- just a motley crew from all walks of life who enjoy wetting a fly. The idea is to meet up with other orphaned fly chuckers looking for fishing buddies and other people addicted to catching trout on a stream. We regularly head out to local rivers (less than 2 hours drive) in small groups and occasionally run bigger adventures to places such as Snowy River, Swampy Plains, Mitta Mitta etc. In betwe …

Do you enjoy walking to keep fit and healthy? Not quite power walking but aiming to be a bit brisk. I am setting up this group to see if there are fellow walkers who fancy doing a couple of laps round Gardiners Creek or Wattle park on a Saturday morning, I thought we alternate venues but happy to review if the group takes off. I have a small dog and really don’t mind if people want to bring dogs or pushchairs but this is intended to be an adult group. It would be great to meet fellow walkers in …

Hungry, thirsty walkers enjoy combining a great outdoor experience with lovely food and drink. Our walks are generally held on the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas as well as in metropolitan Melbourne. The walks are generally no more than 3 or 4 hours duration ( so we can end the day with a late lunch) and tend to be reasonably easy. We are going to let a certain number of people freely book in for walks but then we will have a manual waiting list in order to try to balance  the genders. Othe …
