The Alluvians (Castlemaine)

About

The Alluvians are a gay men’s social group based in the town of Castlemaine (about 130km north of Melbourne). We are a small, unincorporated, volunteer run, not-for-profit social group that provides a safe, non-judgmental welcoming environment for gay, Bi and Trans men in Castlemaine and surrounding area.

The Alluvians provide a number of different outdoors and indoor opportunities to socialise. Our informal gatherings include: Tuesday walks in the Botanical Gardens in Castlemaine, which are dog friendly, and offer a great opportunity to catch up with friends or meet new people ending while walking around the charming Castlemaine Botanic Gardens or afterwards over a coffee at the nearby Das Kaffeehause.  Thursday bushwalks are dog free, designed to be more challenging and go to a great variety of places of interest around Castlemaine and are usually between 7-10k long with some more challenging than others –  but always enjoyable.  Monthly drinks at the Midland Hotel, held on the last Sunday of the month are now a regular.  Throughout the year we also hold monthly events, during the weekend, which may include: Car Rally, Christmas in July, Curry Night, Melbourne Cup picnic in the Botanical Gardens, Australia Day Pool Party and a train trip and lunch at a pub in a nearby town and of course a Christmas picnic. Some events attract men from further afield, including Bendigo, Trentham and Daylesford.  We have good links to the LGBTIQA+ outreach of Dhelkaya Health and Castlemaine Pride.

Our primary communication is by email, however a Facebook Groups page also exists (see below). To join our email and receive regular emails of events requires agreement to comply with our Code of Conduct. Please get in touch through thealluvianscommittee@gmail.com to join.

We are registered as: Not registered.
