The human element highlights the sheer, overwhelming scale of the financial district. *** Modernist Frames: **Position yourself near the glass and steel of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) annex.

Shoot a wide or environmental portrait of a person stepping directly through the narrow "spotlight" of midday sun cutting down into the alley, illuminating them against the dark, gritty heritage brickwork. *** Contextual Silhouettes: **Frame tourists or locals exploring the historic signs and gas lamps of [Nurses Walk](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nurses+Walk,+The+Rocks+NSW+2000/@-33.8598892,151.2082795,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x6b12ae42efae7765:0x64eba1f577e36025!8m2!3d-33.8598892!4d151.2082795!16s%2Fg%2F1tk6w1nk?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), capturing them completely in silhouette against the brightly lit streets at the end of the lanes. **11:35 AM – 12:10 PM \| The Argyle Cut & Argyle Stairs** *** Time Allocation: **35 minutes. *** Environmental Street Prompts:** *** The Cavernous Exit: **Stand inside the dark, monumental sandstone cavern of the Argyle Cut. Capture pedestrians walking toward the blindingly bright exit, using the massive chasm walls to frame the human subjects as small elements in a historic landscape.** *** Piano Keys Shadow (Argyle Stairs): **As you walk halfway through the Argyle Cut tunnel, turn right and ascend the** Argyle Stairs. Near midday, the sun cuts across the steps, creating harsh, horizontal black-and-white lines like a piano keyboard. Shoot from the bottom looking up (or top looking down), waiting for a subject to climb the stairs and break these harsh geometric lines. ***The Antique Lamp Post Silhouette: **These historic steps feature classic British-style iron lamp posts. The midday sun casts their intricate silhouettes sharply against the weathered sandstone walls. Underexpose for the highlights (making the wall bright and the shadow pitch-black), and capture a pedestrian passing through this graphic frame. *** Brutalist Frames: **At the top, turn right onto Cumberland Street and walk past the iconic brutalist** Sirius Building **. Take the public pedestrian shortcut passing through it. Use the raw concrete grids and square frames of the architecture to encapsulate people walking past, contrasting their organic shapes against harsh concrete boxes. ### 12:10 PM – 12:30 PM \| George Street Heritage Zone -** Time Allocation: **20 minutes. ***Environmental Street Prompts:** ** *Temporal Compression: **Walk south along George Street toward the station. Switch to a longer lens. Use the compressed perspective to frame modernly dressed shoppers and commuters interacting right in front of the shadow-mapped textures of 19th-century brick pubs and historic facades. *** Chasing Midday Light Pockets: **At 12:00 PM, the tall buildings on George Street create intermittent, bright pockets of light on the footpaths. Lock exposure on one of these bright zones. Use a slightly slower shutter speed to blur the crowd rushing by in the shadows, leaving only the person walking through the light zone sharply defined. **12:30 PM \| Arrival at The Ship Inn** Walk just one minute around the corner from the underpass to** The Ship Inn **(Pitt St & Alfred St) to pull up a table, grab a cold drink or lunch, and review everyone’s environmental monochrome frames!

FREE: Walk the Kangaroo Point - Green Bridges - City loop

FREE: Walk the Kangaroo Point - Green Bridges - City loop

Join us for a walk around the Kangaroo Point - Green Bridge loop. We'll meet outside Joey's Cafe. We walk across the top of the Kangaroo Point cliffs, along the Southbank waterfront, across the Neville Bonner Bridge through old city Botanical Gardens, about 5 city blocks, then back over the new Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, along Main Street to The Pineapple Hotel. The Walk is about 7kms and takes about 80 to 90 minutes. Meet at 5:55pm (or earlier) for 6:00pm Start. Walk at your own pace as we stop at a number of catch up points along the way so you won't get left behind. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome, but the dinner venue is not. Relax... Even if it your first time, we aim to make all feel welcome and it's a good idea to turn up a little early. Optionally... After the walk, we stop at the Pineapple Hotel for dinner and / or a drink, a great way to socialise in a group setting. The conversation is more dynamic in the group setting, so if your a bit shy you can enjoy being a listener, if there's a topic your passionate about, you can jump right in on it. The menu can be found here: https://pineapplehotel.com.au/garden-bar/ There is free parking from 5pm near Joey's Cafe, the Pineapple Hotel and the streets between. Plan on arriving a little early (10-15 minutes) we can have a chat and you have a buffer if traffic is poor. We do leave on time and once started I don't get a chance to check for messages as it is unsafe do while walking. If there is mild rain I'll do the walk, but, if it is pouring down or well set in, I'll just do dinner. Remember we are all adults so... I thank you as my guests that you bring your manners and be respectful! Please keep your RSVP up to date. It is seen by Meetup and your host as a sign of disrespect of you are a 'No Show' thank you. PLEASE NOTE This is NOT a formal organisation and has no public liability insurance. We are a group of people who get together, taking full personal responsibility at all times. By attending an activity, you agree automatically to take full responsibility for yourself.

Eating Food and Telling Stories: Malaysia
Jun23

Eating Food and Telling Stories: Malaysia

A small dinner with strangers, stories, and delicious Malaysian food. Food has so much to tell - every dish carries memories. Enjoying the taste is great, but food becomes even more enjoyable when we know the story behind it. This event is not a lecture or a food tour; it is a dinner where we’ll eat together and talk about why we eat what we eat: how dishes travel, how flavours create memories, and how food becomes part of identity. I’ll guide the evening by choosing the dishes and sharing short stories about Malaysian food, ingredients, history, and culture, but the best version of the night is a conversation. Everyone is invited to taste, react, ask questions, and add their own perspective. It will be fun - we might debate the long-running Malaysia-Singapore nasi lemak rivalry, explore how laksa reflects centuries of migration, or look at how trade and colonial politics transformed flavours that many people now think of as traditional. You do not need to know anything about Malaysian food. You might be trying it for the first time, or you might have grown up eating it. Either way, the point is the same: to enjoy great food with good company and discover the stories behind the dishes. Coming alone is very welcome. Coming hungry for food and stories is even better. * Group size: 4-6 people * Duration: Around 1-1.5 hours * Cost: Free to attend; everyone pays for their own food and drinks, likely around $30–35 per person * The exact venue and dishes will be shared several days before the event. We'll be sharing a selection of dishes as a group, which is central to the experience. Because of that, this event may not be suitable for people with dietary restrictions

Good question you handsome person.** * Generally speaking, a trick taking game is a card game which is played in a series of rounds known as ***tricks***. * Each trick is evaluated to determine a winner or ***taker*** of that trick and then will usually start - or ***lead*** *-* the next trick. * The goal is usually tied to either winning or losing a number of tricks. This may also come in the form of you guessing how many tricks you will win - known as a ***bid***. * Some games may have a suit that always wins - known as a ***trump***. * Most trick taking games are **competitive** needing between 3-5 players, others are **cooperative**, there are also solo and two-player trick taking games as well! * Popular trick taking/trick taking adjacent games you may have heard of: [The Crew](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/324856/the-crew-mission-deep-sea), [Skull King](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/150145/skull-king), [Cat in the Box](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/345972/cat-in-the-box-deluxe-edition), [Scout](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/291453/scout), [Fox in the Forest](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/221965/the-fox-in-the-forest), the classic games of [Spades](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/592/spades) and [Hearts](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6887/hearts), **What makes a Trick Taking game fun?** * There's so much to trick taking games! They're generally quick to teach, quick to play, have interesting decision spaces, and a wide variety of novelty. Even the classics though can be played thousands of times without getting tiresome. Part of the fun is in the interaction with others, assessing their moves and countering them, and how to win (or lose) at the right times. You have to stay on your toes, adapt frequently, and keep tabs on the other players, what they have played, and what they may play next! **Do I need to know how to play/have played a trick taking game before?** * Not at all, but it is good to understand the basics and general terminology so you can pick things up a bit easier on the night. You can check out [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O7QyhKmCsk) for a bit of a general breakdown . **Is this event free?** * Yes, but please support the venue by purchasing a drink or two. **I'm on the waitlist can I still come?** * Unfortunately, no. We have limited capacity and must abide by it. **I don't have a game to bring, is that okay?** * Generally it will be okay, but it is encouraged to bring and share a game where you can! You can always bring a standard deck of cards or tarot cards and learn a card game or two as well! **Can I bring a guest?** * Unfortunately, unless they have signed up too it won't be possible. We have a strict limit on guests and the event would fill up too quickly otherwise. **How do I get to the venue?** * The 86 Tram is your best bet and has a stop pretty much right outside of the venue. * There are two train stations (Westgarth and Northcote) which are within walking distance. * Parking is available in the area but can get busy. If you don't mind a little walk there is parking down the adjacent street. **Dave, I worry you will win all the games we play. Such an intelligent and beautiful man, you must be a master of the tricks, is this true?** * Firstly - thank-you for the kind words, but secondly - no. I suck at trick taking games and lose more than I win. Yet, I enjoy them for their variety, high interaction, and quick nature regardless. You will be fine if you don't take things too seriously. It's about fun and meeting people... (but if you do beat me too often I will ban you from the group and venue...).

Bassendean Meditation Class
Jun23
FREE

Bassendean Meditation Class

Don’t miss out on these free, casual meditation classes! The meditation classes cater for people of all experience levels and are run in a relaxed environment. No stretches or physical exercises are involved in learning this simple yet effective technique. **Effortless Meditation** The word ‘Sahaja’ can be translated as ‘Spontaneous’ or ‘Simple’, and is at the outset a hypothesis that meditation can come easily for those who are willing to practice regularly (even briefly each day). Sahaja Yoga defines meditation as ‘thoughtless awareness’, a state where you are completely conscious but at the same time completely without thought. In this state, we gain a unique perspective and insight into the beauty of our own innate nature. Physical and mental health benefits have also been attributed to regular meditation practice through comprehensive Australian research (Learn more in the book ‘silence your mind’ or at www.beyondthemind.com). Sahaja Yoga meditation was founded by HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970, and is based on kundalini awakening. Shri Mataji felt that meditation is an essential part of our spiritual growth. She felt that because meditation is so essential, a free and simple method to achieve it must be made available for everyone. Sahaja Yoga is now practiced in over 52 countries worldwide. **Learn more here** https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpn47Y9bqAkucSPCMYJqONCaytIUlvQcX

Open Heart Meditation & Reiki Tummo Healing

Hello Everyone! Come & join us for a relaxing Open Heart meditation & Reiki Tummo healing. You will be guided to be connected to your spiritual heart again, to feel the calmness, peace, joy, and love from your Heart.. to experience more of this quality in our daily lives. The only thing you have to bring is a yoga mat to lie on for receiving the healing at the end of the session, your heart and your smile, feel free to bring your friends, family member, neighbors, colleagues.. Please park at Thirsty Camel secure parking and walk towards the building. Ring 601 at the intercom and walk towards the lift, press 6 on the lift. See you there! :)LL Christine/ Grace/ Sam +61 413 264 386 We ask for a $5 donation to help with running costs. Feel free to call or message Grace with your queries. Make sure to also connect with our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/openheartmeditation INTRODUCTION On the surface level Open Heart Meditation is a very simple yet effective way to shut the busy mind down, relax and unwind, and to reconnect with peace. Many people come as a quick way to recharge for the week and to find inner peace. On a deeper level Open Heart Meditation is about opening the heart to know your True Self and to connect with our Creator - the ultimate source of love and life - what we call "True Source". The divine energy from True Source (the Reiki energy) is a beautiful restorative energy of healing, joy, love and blessings. It's suitable for people from all religions because it's non denominational and helps people to better connect with their chosen spiritual path - experientially through the heart (rather than through the head with more thinking and theory). When you are connected to this abundant source of life energy every day, you will in turn receive life more abundantly. It will improve your overall happiness, health, and general well-being. You will find yourself more calm and less reactive; your choices in life will be more sound and centred; and you will be more in line with your True Self - all beyond the limited intelligence of the mind, other worldly wisdoms, and fluctuating emotions. The greater purpose of this practice for those who wish to pursue it beyond relaxation and healing is to return home - back to our Creator from where we all originated from - the ultimate source of life and unconditional love. Open Heart Meditation is therefore very different to many popular types of meditation, such as Mindfulness Meditation for the following reasons: • It does not rely on the mind or observation, or on emotions, but rather it is focused on the heart. We teach you how to easily shut the mind down, to open the heart, and sense from it. • Instead of practicing detachment, we teach you to attach to the source of abundant life first. This will then help you detach from all forms of negativities naturally without any effort. In doing so, this will gradually iron out negative reactive responses, smoothing your life's path. • This blessing, is a gift of Grace and cannot be earned by greater effort. The only thing one can do is to just receive this gift from True Source with an open heart, in gratitude. This group is dedicated to those who would like to learn, practice and share about Open Heart Meditation. Everyone is welcome to join, learn and contribute in a positive, safe and caring environment. :-) For more information about Open Heart Meditation: https://naturalwayofliving.com/wellness-programs/open-heart-meditation/ PERTH TESTIMONIALS "We are so incredibly blessed with Open Heart Meditation - the truth that we've learnt and discovered for ourselves; the lovely community; and what it is doing for our soul permanently. So grateful for this huge blessing. Thank you all for what is coming to my first year with you smiley lot." Ronnie Chua, Perth Australia "Isn't it lovely when you intend to pray for something and immediately feel the love pour down like a bucket of water..Then your heart remembers that the love is everywhere and so you feel like you're swimming in it instead..Now you can't even remember what you were going to pray about because the only 2 words left are 'thank you'" Yalda, Perth, Australia "Before learning about the heart, when I prayed to True Source, it felt flat, and I was never sure if my prayers were heard. I remember how I prayed only when I had problems in my life, or because at school or at church a bunch of us were being told to pray together. Words came out of me without any feeling; I was simply reading prayer lines. Now it is completely different: prayers have become beautiful, and I am able to go into a deep state of connection. I feel how I am communicating with True Source-how my prayers reach up to True Source, Lovingly listening, and are accepted with the beauty of Love." Sunny Tjandrakesuma, Perth, Australia

From $20

Mudgeeraba Weekly Wednesday Sound Meditation w/ Singing Ring® Healing Instrument

Every Wednesday at the Mudgeeraba Foundation Centre from 1:30 to 2:30pm Singing Ring Australia offers a blissful meditation experience using the highest quality sound bowl healing instrument made in Japan called Singing Ring®. Fee is $20 cash at the door, hand written or emailed receipts are available on request. There is no need to book at the moment while numbers are quite low. Please bring a yoga mat and comfies, there are plenty of pillows provided at the hall. Note this is a laying meditation on a wooden studio dance floor. Singing Ring® healing instrument has been studied by top research universities and shown to be highly effective in entraining our brainwaves into a predominantly Alpha & Theta state - the state our brain is in when we meditate, when we reach higher inner awareness and become deeply connected to our subconscious. This subconscious connection and inner awareness allows us to reach new levels of self development and process life’s challenges in the calm and loving sound energy Singing Ring® produce. The sound therapy also balances the chakra centres and clears the aura. Through the session we place the sound bowls on your body to experience the solfeggio vibrations physically which aid in lymphatic drainage and structuring our waters on a cellular level to improve their function. Each week of the month we rotate Singing Ring Australia facilitators for a slightly different sound journey experience, however the main focus is always using the Singing Ring® sound healing instrument. 1st week - Yoko & Emiko 2nd week - Michael & Yoko 3rd week - Naoko & Emiko 4th week - Michael & Yoko (Subject to change and if there is a 5th week facilitators will likely vary) (Also please support Yoko at - [We Are Sound](https://www.facebook.com/wearesound8)) It truly is a magical experience that is quite difficult express in words.

Sammy will provide an update on emerging cybercrime trends observed throughout the tour, along with highlights from the latest global cybercrime developments impacting communities around the world. The second half of the evening shifts into a practical technical workshop focused on containers and Docker. Containers have transformed how applications are developed, deployed, tested, and secured. Whether you're a developer, security practitioner, cloud engineer, penetration tester, or simply curious about modern infrastructure, understanding containers is rapidly becoming an essential skill. Attendees will receive a hands-on introduction to Docker and learn how command execution works within containerised environments through guided demonstrations and practical exercises. *** ## **What You'll Learn** ### **Hck4G Africa Tour Recap** * Key insights from the Hck4G Cybercrime Awareness & Advocacy for Action Tour * Emerging cybercrime trends and observations from the field * Global cybercrime developments from the past quarter * The human impact of cybercrime and why prevention matters * Opportunities for community involvement and future Hck4G initiatives ### Docker Command Execution Mania * What containers are and why they matter * Understanding Docker fundamentals * Creating and running containers * Executing commands inside Docker containers * Managing containerised workloads * Security considerations when working with containers * Practical exercises to build confidence using Docker *** ## Bonus We still have a limited amount of Hck4G Tour swag remaining from the Africa Tour, and we'll be giving away selected items during the evening.

Yet many teams still treat code signing as an afterthought: painful to set up, difficult to automate, and even harder to make developer-friendly. This session shows that it doesn’t have to be that way. In this deeply technical, demo-driven talk, we’ll walk through how to implement automated artifact code signing using SigStore and Smallstep PKI, integrated directly into GitHub Actions. You’ll see how to transform code signing from a security bottleneck into a frictionless part of your CI/CD pipeline; one that developers barely notice, but auditors and CISOs absolutely love. ## **Location** 📍 Atlassian Melbourne Queens & Collins Building, Level 20, 100 Queen Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 ## **Agenda ⏰** * 5:30 - Food is served * 6:15 - Session start * 7:30 - Post-event networking \-\-\- Note: Please complete the event confirmation form: [https://forms.gle/5P1kfDSRtbtKze9AA](https://forms.gle/5P1kfDSRtbtKze9AA)
