Location: Melbourne, Australia
Summer Location: Queen Victoria gardens.
The aim is not for a solely firetwirling night, but a night whereby firetwirlers, jugglers, contact jugglers, diabolo etc can meet. So feel free to bring friends who may be interested.
Night starts at 6pm for all those who are keen to learn. Fire starts after dark 7.00 - 8ish till late!
So.... the location is Queen Victoria Gardens
St. Kilda Road – opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)
The grassed area near the three raised palm trees. (Look out for the bronze statue hammer thrower)
With only a 5 minute walk over the princess bridge from Flinders Street station.
Here's the map

*WINTER LOCATION*
Under the Princess bridge (Southbank side). Where the Southbank Sundey market happens.

Was a fun meet.
Thanks for the Jacket Petey, that was highly amusing. Although I was slightly sore in the arms from not warming up properly afterwards

Heya, not entirely sure about this yet- I'm stuck in Mildura picking grapes and going crazy - but I may be escaping to Melbourne this week, so I should be around next sunday. You guys having a meet then?
If y'are, directions and so on would be very much appreciated..

heya triskaidekia, yeah, we gather every sunday
as of this weekend, the gatherings are going to be under the bridge on southbank. if you go here and search for 'southgate ave, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia' you'll be able to see the intersection of 'st kilda rd' and 'southbank promenade'. we'll be gathering underneath this bridge, after the market closes.
hope to see you there
also, reminder to everyone... going to bridge as of tomorow

As a reminder to everyone, I've been backstage at Cirque today
Good news for all is that the juggler may well be coming either tomorrow or next Sunday

I'm so dissapointed that I wasn't able to come to the past few weeks
Should be there on Sunday, except in the case of any freak accidents like grizzly bear attacks. By the palms this week?

Yeah, Kudos to those guys.
Shame no one had a camera to catch the reaction of that woman after seeing me appear on a uni, then bail.
I'm still pretty sore from that today
Next week will be my final week at spinning and I am going to dring my camp stove and make chai for anyone who wants some, just bring a mug

Haha, the smart-ass answer would be "I'm Jarle, who are you?"
I was the blonde wearing a black jumper and grey pants if you were at the Sunday meet. If not, I'm sure we'll meet sooner or later.

Anyone interested, there's a party at Cirque du Soleil this Sunday night, $5 cover charge and it's on site, and it's a 20's style costume event (Not required to dress up, but it would be nice)
See you all there, 8:30 onwards

What do you mean you'll miss it, it's just not good enough Pete, I get you an invite onsite and behind the scenes at Cirque du Soleil, and you turn it down??????
. Well, what must be done, must be done I guess, everyone else is more than welcome though

Hmmm, haven't heard 'like a maniac' before, but probably. And yes, I do like Nightwish
but haven't heard of Moonsorrow, I'll have to look into it. I won't be anywhere on Sunday, I'm going away for the whole weekend and I'll need an evening to recover
Enjoy the par-tay everyone though! Kupo!
