🌞 Melbourne is Heating Up — Stay Cool, Team!
Melbourne is really ramping up the heat right now, so please remember to stay cool, stay hydrated, and look after yourselves while you’re out and about!
We had an action‑packed weekend of activities, and our groups made the most of it despite the soaring temperatures:
🏙️ City Overnight Stay
Our overnight crew enjoyed a fantastic stay at Punthill Manhattan Apartments — modern, comfy, and in a perfect spot for a summer getaway.
They capped off the night with the theatre production of Saturday Night Fever, and let’s just say… they absolutely tore up the dancefloor! 💃🕺
🎾 Australian Open Magic
Another group headed to the Aus Open, with reserved seats at Margaret Court Arena.
The tennis was spectacular, the atmosphere electric, and yes… it was a very hot day — well done to everyone who powered through!
⭐ Star Wars Sunday
To round out the weekend, our final group visited the Star Wars Expo and Café on Sunday.
Lightsabers, Jedis, and all things galactic — they explored the full universe and had a blast.

🎉 Northside Disco – Our First Night in Macleod!
Our very first Macleod Disco was held on Saturday 17th January, and what a great start it was! We had an awesome turnout for our debut night, and we’re hoping the numbers continue to grow each month — just like our Hallam Disco, which now attracts over 120 clients every month!
Of course, with any first event there are a few teething issues… like figuring out where the light switches were! 😂 But we got there in the end, and once the music started pumping, everyone settled in and had a fantastic night.
A huge shout‑out to our amazing DJ who kept the energy high with great tunes — and the best part is, you can enjoy him every month!
We can’t wait to do it all again on February 21st, 7:30pm–10pm, with a Masquerade‑themed disco. Get your masks ready!

🤠 Weekend Away – Healesville & Yarra Valley Rodeo
Our weekend getaway to Healesville for the Yarra Valley Rodeo definitely did not disappoint! It was the full experience — cowboys, cowgirls, bulls, bucking action, and plenty of boot‑scootin’ fun. The group had an awesome time soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the country vibes.

Got 5 Minutes for a Feel-Good Story? Grab a Cuppa and Enjoy!
Meet Craig – a social and considerate young fella, 58 years young, who currently resides in a supported environment but remains deeply connected to his family. Craig is gentle, loves kids, and dreams of one day “finding a lovely lady.”
Recently, Craig was selected as the one very lucky participant to receive a fully paid trip to Byron Bay. You might be wondering, “How did this happen?” Well, let me tell you…
Here at Getaways, we are blessed to be part of incredible stories. Sharing them is our way of celebrating moments where real people make real differences.
When we were organising this awesome trip to Byron Bay, we received a call from one of our special families. What they said blew us away:

“These trips have made such a positive impact on our son that we want to give the same opportunity to someone else who might otherwise struggle to afford it.”

We asked, “Can We clarify… are you saying you want to pay the out-of-pocket cost for a stranger to also go on this holiday?”

“Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”

Wow. Our hearts were so warmed by this generosity—but it didn’t stop there.

“We also want to pay for their spending money.”

It felt like all our Christmases had come at once—not for us, but for the joy this would bring! It was such a beautiful moment to find that special person and share the news with them.
To the generous family who made this possible (you know who you are): thank you a hundred times over. We hope that when the pictures and stories start coming in February, you feel the same joy we do.

🌧️❤️ A Huge Thank You & A Wonderful Weekend Away!
We were incredibly fortunate to still enjoy a weekend getaway, especially with our beautiful state experiencing what has been a monstrous week of wild weather.
To all our emergency services, who have been out there working tirelessly to keep our communities safe — we are so grateful for you. 🙏
Weather events like this are always taken seriously in Australia, so with safety in mind, we delayed our departure for Traralgon until Saturday morning, once the risk had eased and conditions were safe.
And from there… the fun began! 😊

Saturday – Mythos Greek Bar Experience
On Saturday, a small group ventured out to Mythos Greek Bar for some absolutely scrumptious Greek cuisine.
It was such a hit — good food, great company, and wonderful authentic cultural delights.
With Melbourne being famous for its incredible Greek dining scene, it’s definitely something we’ll look at doing more often!

Sunday – Melbourne Adventures
Sunday was all about exploring our amazing city:

A trip to the Melbourne Museum
Followed by a visit to the Intergalactic Star Wars Café

A perfect mix of culture, fun, and a touch of the galaxy far, far away!

Despite the challenges of the week, we made beautiful memories, stayed safe, and enjoyed another fantastic weekend together.

Hello everyone!
For those of you who regularly come along to the Hallam Disco, we wanted to give you a quick update — our April disco date falls on a public holiday, Easter Saturday (April 4th)!
We completely understand that a public holiday might not suit everyone’s plans or budget. If that’s the case, there’s absolutely no pressure to attend.
However, if there’s enough interest, we’re more than happy (or should we say hoppy 🐰) to still go ahead!
We already have:
🏠 The hall booked
🎧 The DJ locked in
🐣 And plans for an Eggstravaganza of a night — you may even spot the Easter Bunny hopping by!
We apologise for not noticing the public holiday date sooner, but we’d love to make it a special night if people still want to come.
👉 Please let me know if you’re still keen to attend so we can decide whether the disco should go ahead.
Thanks everyone! 💛
Looking forward to hearing from you.

What a Weekend! 🎉
Last weekend was packed with adventure, magic, and delicious food!
Rawson – Our first visit to this brand-new destination! Home to the historic town of Walhalla, we explored haunted graveyards, spooky ghost tours, and soaked in the peace and serenity of its picturesque landscapes. Absolutely beautiful! 🌲👻
🎭 Anastasia Stage Show – A Disney classic brought to life! It was a truly magical day out filled with music, wonder, and nostalgia.
🍴 Oakleigh Greek Feast – Sunshine, souvlakis, and smiles! Nothing beats authentic Greek flavors on a Sunday. Mmmm… we’re still dreaming about it! ☀️
Where should we go next? Drop your ideas below! 👇

Adventure Awaits in Mansfield!
Over the Christmas break, we were lucky enough to escape to the stunning hills of Mansfield, staying in a beautiful Himalayan-style house. 🏡
Our weekend was packed with adventure – a full-day 4x4 tour with Scenic Tours took us to the iconic Craigs Hut and along the breathtaking Razorback Ridge all the way to the summit.
We savored homemade rock cakes, indulged in delicious pub grub, and shared plenty of laughs and mateship along the way.
It was a getaway to remember – full of nature, fun, and unforgettable views! 🌿
Where’s your next adventure taking you?
