Weekly Social Outings
Tuesdays
Our long-standing Evergreen Ramblers Program takes you on a tour around Melbourne's outer metropolitan area every Tuesday.
Discover or revisit lovely suburbs and townships, stopping to enjoy lunch together at an eatery that we've hand-picked for you.
If time allows, we’ll stop for morning tea at a green space along the way and enjoy a cuppa and some home baking. These outing suit people with limited mobility.
Fortnightly Community Outings Thursdays
For people who enjoy active, engaging experiences beyond our regular Tuesday offerings. These special outings will include guided tours, exhibitions, museums, and cultural attractions - places that aren’t open or available on Tuesdays. The Community Outings involve gentle walking and stimulating experiences in a supportive group setting.
Come along, discover new places, and enjoy great company along the way!
Monthly Premium Outings
Mondays
Treat yourself to something extra special with our monthly top-shelf outing option.
These will feature more premium or higher-cost destinations, such as the Melbourne Zoo, exhibitions, iconic attractions and special experiences.
Make Mondays something to look forward to - explore Melbourne’s highlights in comfort and with good company.
Must have good mobility as destinations require walking.
“Staff and volunteers are always most welcoming and helpful, going well beyond the call of duty. Also, they provide an opportunity to visit places I am no longer able to drive to myself.”
