Start/Finish: Holbeach Ave Carpark, Tempe Distance: Approx. 55km Grade: Medium, 20-22kmph average speed Join us for a scenic loop out to Kurnell, taking in a mix of brand-new infrastructure and classic coastal paths. We’ll departfrom the Holbeach Ave carpark area and head straight onto the new M6 cycleway, making our way down to Ramsgate for a quick "cheeky" coffee stop to fuel up. From there, we’ll hug the coastline through Dolls Point, cross the Taren Point Bridge, and roll through Woolooware. The main stretch takes us along Captain Cook Drive all the way to Kurnell. Since it’s June, we’ll be keeping a keen eye on the horizon for some whale spotting before settling in for lunch at the café. Our return leg will be a steady spin back on the roads, finishing up at Holbeach Ave. Route highlights: - Enjoy the newish M6 cycleway - Coastal views through Dolls Point - Whale watching at Kurnell - Social lunch break Please ensure your bike is in good working order, and bring a spare tube, water, and money for coffee and lunch. All communications regarding this ride will be handled on this MeetUp site. Check the comments section for any updates closer to the ride.

Award-winning Western Australian author Holden Sheppard returns to the world of his bestselling debut Invisible Boys with Yeah the Boys: a bold, propulsive new novel about male friendship, masculinity, modern gay life and the first gay male AFL player. Raw, brash and fiercely tender, Yeah the Boys is the story of three young men finding their way back to each other – and discovering their own complicated ways of becoming men. It arrives in response to overwhelming reader demand, with audiences repeatedly asking what became of Charlie, Zeke and Hammer in the years since Invisible Boys. This novel answers that question, and then some. Unapologetic and unforgettable, this is Holden at the height of his powers. To unpack the many talking points this novel has to offer, will be our very own library staff member Danni Hilliard. Danni is one of our most enthusiastic readers and reviewers of books and has previously interviewed Holden about his second novel The Brink. Copies will be available to purchase from MacLean’s Booksellers and Holden will be sticking around to chat and sign copies of his books. Ages: Adults 18+ years, 16-17 year olds can attend with parent/guardian. Cost: $10 Bookings essential If you have any access or inclusion needs, you will be able to advise us when booking. AUTHOR BIO Holden Sheppard is one of Australia’s most compelling contemporary voices.

His subsequent novels, The Brink (2022) and King of Dirt (2025), further cemented his reputation, winning major awards and earning widespread critical acclaim.
