Join fellow Nomads and friends for an online quiz night on Friday 3rd September - an evening of fun and socialising from the safety, warmth and comfort of your own home! Bring your food and drinks and get ready for two hours of socialising online. We're trying something different for the Trivia segment - Richard H. will be your gamemaster using the Kahoot software. It will be easiest to use two devices to play this - one running Zoom (on which the questions will be displayed), and one that you'll use to enter your answers into Kahoot. (See How to play Kahoot - using One or Two devices if you can only use a single device). Next, Jason will take over as gamemaster to run a game of Jeopardy ("Pick a Box"), where you select a box in one of 6 categories. If you can answer the question behind the box correctly, your team scores the associated points. (You can consult with your teammates prior to answering). If the night is still young, we'll play another game - it could be Tic Tac Toe ("noughts and crosses"), where you strategically add a nought or a cross if your team answers the question behind the selected slot correctly, or we could perhaps play the quizmaster's favourite game: Wheel of Fortune.   Play starts at 7pm (but if you feel you'll struggle to manage the Kahoot game, you can join in at 7:30pm). Ensure you register for this event in order to receive an email with your link to join on the night! We will be using the online Zoom program plus the TriviaMaker and Kahoot gaming software to run the event. TO BOOK: Click Get Tickets, preferably by midday on Friday 3rd September so you get an invitation email on the day with your link to join the game. If you haven't used Zoom before, be sure to register for a FREE Zoom account prior. See: zoom.us/freesignup. You don't need any special software for using Kahoot. TO PLAY: At 7pm on Friday 3rd September (or 7:30pm if you're not joining us for the Kahoot game), click on the Zoom link in your invitation email. (Tip: add a reminder in your phone). Once you've joined, sit back and relax. Your quiz and game masters will run all the behind-the-scenes work.

** PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT CANNOT PROCEED AT PRESENT DUE TO THE EXTENSION OF LOCKDOWN #6 ** Here is an opportunity to "frock up" in your best winter outfits and head outdoors. GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy, approximately 8 km, circuit walk.  ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The August 2021 full moon is due to be observed in Melbourne on Sunday 22 August, so we will venture out on Sunday night to take advantage of that. Winter provides the best possibility of clear skies to maximise viewing the stunning moonlight. Yarra Bend Park provides an area with minimal artificial light thus maximising the impact of moonlight. The surface for this walk is 100 per cent pavement or compacted “blue metal”. Totally flat or undulating except for two small “huff and puff” inclines: 1) from Kane’s Bridge up to The Boulevard, and 2) from the Water Pipe Bridge up past the Pavilion at Fairfield Park. The walk will commence at the car park and head south along Yarra Bend Road past the old Fairfield Hospital (now Melbourne Polytechnic) to cross the Yarra at Kane’s bridge. The walk will then proceed along The Boulevard in Kew past Bellbird Park (home to the Fruit Bats), crossing the Eastern Freeway; an area which is a “hot spot” for watching New Years Eve fireworks. Crossing the Yarra River via the Water Pipe Bridge we will re-enter Fairfield Park. BOOKING: By Friday 20th August. To register, click on Get Tickets. Unsure if you've already booked?

Enjoy a coastal winter walk in Melbourne's western suburbs, ensuring you're well rugged up to appreciate the variety of scenery and sites on offer. ** This event cannot proceed at present due to the extension of Lockdown #6 ** GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy 11 km point-to-point walk accessed by Metro train.  ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This walk follows the coast from Altona Pier to Point Gellibrand at Williamstown. Along the way we will pass through Altona Coastal Park on the site of the former Williamstown Racecourse, Jawbone Nature Conservation Reserve, Williamstown Beach and Point Gellibrand Coastal Heritage Park. A large amount of coastal birdlife can be observed in the area. The coastal salt marsh ecosystems we pass by are unusual to find so close to a major city. The industrial, residential and boating activities of the area add to the variation of landscapes to be observed throughout the walk. Cafes at Altona and Williamstown Beach provide options for a warming coffee at the start or near to the end of our walk.  Starting from Altona Pier, the walk follows waterfront walkways in the direction of Williamstown and Melbourne through a mixture of interesting urban, coastal, wetland and parkland environments, with the sea always in sight.
