The Doctor Who Club of Victoria has again been asked to be part of the Australia Day Street Parade**.
The parade starts at 11:00am, however we recommend arriving a little earlier as good positions tend to get snapped up! Come and support us, along with seeing many other cultural and special interest groups from around Melbourne.
This will again be a TARDIS trip, with a picnic afterwards. Members, fans, family and friends are welcome to join us for a picnic afterwards. Bring a blanket or a chair and a picnic lunch for a relaxing afternoon with other Doctor Who fans! We’ll even be having a Whovian game of cricket!
Click the image below for a map of the location where you can find us:
We will also be manning our phone on the day though, so if you can’t find us, we can give you directions. 🙂
We are looking to start the picnic after midday (we will also have some committee members there early to set up and get our spot, so feel free to come by any time).
**If you are interested in joining us for the actual parade, places are limited. You must be wearing either Doctor Who related cosplay (Torchwood, Class, etc are also acceptable), or Doctor Who clothing such as a T-shirt or scarf. As there is a restriction on the number of people who will be able to part of the parade, preference will be given to cosplayers. Contact us to register!
Join us for a fun relaxing afternoon as we explored and play some of the many Doctor Who themed games.
Games include:
- Doctor Who Risk
- Doctor Who Monopoly
- Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit
- Time Wars Board Game
- Doctor Who Electronic Board Game
- Doctor Who Uno
- Doctor Who Cluedo
- … and more!
We will also have PlayStation 3 set up with ‘The Eternity Clock’ and a computer with the Doctor Who Adventure Games.

Kids corner will include some Dalek themed activities and our screening room will be showing some of our favourite Dalek stories.
Please note that we have scheduled this meeting a week later than usual, our usual weekend would be on the Labour Day holiday weekend and we have found that many people are away during this time.
