Day Trip to Cherry Blossom Festival [Opening Weekend]

We are heading to CherryHill Blossom Festival. This will be the opening weekend.

Please note that we will be taking public transport plus shared uber/taxi for this trip. There is also bus replacement for part of the journey (due to disruptions) and also shared taxi/uber since there is no public transport access to CherryHill Orchard. Please refer to the cost section details for shared taxi/uber cost before signing up. Also, if you are a content creator, please message me in advance.

Please follow all these three steps to confirm your spot:

Step 1: Please RSVP to this event on meetup.

Step 2: Please pay the organizer fee ($15 - Early Bird, $20 - Regular) via Trybooking - [https://www.trybooking.com/DPPZL](https://www.trybooking.com/DPPZL)

Trybooking tickets are non-refundable. There is no option to transfer the ticket to a new date. Trybooking tickets will be only refunded if the event is cancelled or moved.

Every spring, Cherry Hill Orchards throw open their gates as the trees burst into full bloom — a sea of stunning white blossom that makes for picture-perfect photos and a lovely, festive day out in the countryside with family and friends. The Wandin orchard is home to more than 13 varieties of cherry tree, and they all bloom at different times. Blossom is a fleeting thing, so depending on when you visit across the festival, you'll find different pockets of the orchard in bloom. Please follow us on Social Media for photos, videos & updates:

Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have seven simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.

❌ Not a dating group! – We’re here to make friends, not find soulmates. No flirty business, please! 📵 No phone numbers, please! – Feel free to swap social media if both parties are cool with it, but let’s keep our digits private. Please don’t add people to WhatsApp or other groups. 🔞 Our events are only open to people aged 18 and older. 📢 Please do not advertise other events or groups. 😅 Don’t be a social octopus! – Give people space to chat with others. Please don't be clingy. 🚗 We don't allow carpooling due to safety incidents/our public liability insurance not covering motor related accidents. 💰 No sales pitches! – No selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes, no “life-changing mentorship” offers—let’s keep things scam-free.

By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise 🤝 that you’ll follow…
