Our walking group is a fabulous Melting Pot of cultures, backgrounds, professions and life experiences. We love our Walks. We are INCLUSIVE OF EVERYONE………if you’re: kind, nice, fun, polite and respectful. 🌸😘🌸 On that note…. In recent times my walks are at capacity, which I’m capping at 40. Regulars, regardless of numbers are always welcome….just PM me if you’re on a waitlist. 🌸♥️🌸 We walk at a medium pace of 4kms per hour, stopping for breaks and to take in the views. It is a reasonable expectation that the group stays together. It is your responsibility to stay in line of sight. If you cannot walk at this pace, I will let you know of the next get out point.

If people are on the waitlist, it is also very inconsiderate. Marking yourself as “Not Going” within 2 hours of departure does not allow reasonable time to notify anyone on the waitlist. 🌸🙅‍♀️🌸 On the odd occasion, the walk may change from the schedule, due to weather, unforeseen track obstacles OR emergency situations. 🌸🤞🌸 Please make sure your conversation is always courteous to other group members. 🌸😍🌸 PS…. IF YOUR ID PIC IS OF A COFFEE CUP, YOUR DOG OR CAT, A VIEW, and not a picture of you…You’ll stay waitlisted. 🌸❌🌸 SAFETY WARNING: Please stay away from cliff edges and be very careful when walking on wet and slippery rocks and surfaces.

Sydney Artists, Creatives & Influencers | 크리에이터

🌻🌌 **Van Gogh Coffee Club** Ever wished you could step inside a Van Gogh painting… with a coffee in one hand and new creative friends on the other? Van Gogh Coffee Club is a small, intentional meetup for young creatives (18–34) at The Grounds of Alexandria’s brand‑new Van Gogh garden — sunflowers, swirling skies and limited‑edition themed drinks that look insane on camera. * Very 감성 (aesthetic vibe) * Very 映える (photo-worthy) * Very 出片 (great for photos) * Very “how is this in Sydney?” ✨ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 **This is for you if:** * You’re a creative, musician, photographer, designer, filmmaker or content creator — hobby or pro * You have friends, but feel like no one really gets your creative brain * You want real collabs and maybe your next viral idea, not cringe networking * You love little creative side quests — Reels, TikToks, photo dumps, Naver blog moments, Xiaohongshu-style shots, café content or just beautiful places that make your brain go “wait… this is content” 📸 * You’re into 인스타 감성 (Instagram aesthetic), 릴스각 (Reel-worthy moment), ブログ映え (blog-worthy), 小红书感 (Xiaohongshu vibe) or just anything that feels a little cinematic * 혼자 와도 괜찮아요 (coming alone is okay) * 一人参加OK (solo attendance OK) * 一个人来也可以 (coming alone is fine) * มาคนเดียวได้ (you can come alone) 🫶 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ **What we’ll do** * Meet at The Grounds, grab a Van Gogh‑inspired drink and do relaxed intros — no scary pitch circle * Wander the Van Gogh laneway together — glowing sunflowers, starry‑night colours, perfect for Reels, TikTok and photos * Take content without feeling awkward because everyone else is there for the same reason. 릴스각 제대로 (proper Reel-worthy moment) 📸 * Hang out, share ideas and see who you naturally vibe with for future collabs * Maybe you meet a photographer for your next shoot * Maybe you meet a musician for your next video * Maybe you meet a designer, artist, filmmaker, blogger, editor, dancer 💃 * Reel maker or someone who just gets your exact creative chaos * Or maybe you just have coffee in a Van Gogh garden with cool people * Also valid 🌻 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍰 **Drinks & desserts** To visit the exhibit, The Grounds asks that each person orders from the café/bar. We recommend the limited‑edition specials, made by world‑class chefs at Australia’s most famous café: ⭐ Starry Bite cake 👀 Starry Eyed cocktail 🌻 Sunflower Power cake 🥤 Sunflower Soda These are very much “camera eats first” desserts: * 인스타 감성 (Instagram aesthetic) * 映える (photo-worthy) * 很出片 (great for photos) * ถ่ายรูปสวยมาก (beautiful for photos) 📸 Once this activation ends, these exact cakes and drinks are gone forever — it’s a true one‑time menu. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 **Small on purpose** The café has limited seating and the exhibit is temporary, so we’re keeping this meetup small and intentional — people who actually create and want to connect, not just anyone passing by. * Not a corporate networking thing * Not a loud party thing * Not a “stand around and pretend to be professional” thing More like: * coffee * art * music people * camera people * design people * content people * soft chaos * and “wait how have we not met before?” energy A little 꿀잼 (super fun). A little エモい (emotional/cute vibe). A little 有氛围感 (has atmosphere). ✨ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎟 **Tickets, RSVPs & how to join** The venue/exhibit are free, but this hosted Circles meetup requires a paid ticket so we can keep it curated and cover the effort to run it. Tap the Meetup RSVP button first, then 👉 [secure your spot](https://checkout.square.site/merchant/ML9B6K0NKVNBZ/checkout/EAHP4HDSLGS6A45DCMTUJ6XC) 🎉 Once you've secured your spot, [DM us on Instagram @Circles_AU](https://www.instagram.com/circles_au/) straight away to be added to the private group chat — 📍 **that’s where you’ll get the exact meetup location**, day-of updates and early access to who else is coming. Don’t wait on this one, spots fill fast and the group chat fills up even faster ✨

16kms Woy Woy, Pearl Caves, Patonga Beach & Patonga Boathouse!

***On King's Bday Saturday, [we are hiking Macmasters Beach to Killcare Beach](https://www.meetup.com/hikewalktothebar/events/314873258/)... so why not lay down more hike-prints in the Central Coast on Sunday? Woy Woy to Patonga Beach is a cracker of a hike...*** **THE HIKE. Woy Woy to Patonga Beach & The Boathouse (16kms).** This is such a lovely coastal / beach hike... **Woy Woy. Blackwall. Ettalong Beach. Umina Beach. Pearl Beach...** then we climb to one of my favourite spots: **Pearl Caves down to Patonga Beach will provide some of the best views on the Central Coast.** Stunnnnnning ocean views all the way to Palm Beach. The climb down is steep, and the food / drinks at **The Boathouse Patonga** are special. **THE BOATHOUSE PATONGA.** I won't write about it. If you've never been, it's a "WOOOOOW" type bar / restaurant... there's nothing in Patonga but a gorgeous beach, a few homes, and The Boathouse. Great food... reasonably priced, and of course delicious post-hike drinks. **[If keen to come, after you hite "Attend" on Meetup jump in the whatsapp chat here!!!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KcsQg5fK9TEIyFhAOrGFy7)** ***AN AD FROM THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT.*** ***JUNE!!!

There's also a bus from Patonga to Woy Woy Station. There's also Uber / taxi to Woy Woy Station. Last (and best) is taking the Boat House Ferry ($15) to Palm Beach... it's unforgettable. Jump on the 199 bus from there, and you're on your way to Sydney (a stop at **The Newport** for a drink is 110% worth it - gotta say this is the best bar in Sydney). **Saturday...
