Mid-Week Outing – Tuesday 6th January 2026
Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne
Our first Mid-Week Outing for 2026 will be to Melbourne’s beautiful and shady Royal Botanical Gardens in Birdwood Avenue.
We will meet in at the Observatory Kiosk, 100 Birdwood Drive, Melbourne – just opposite the Shrine at 10.30 am for tea/coffee.
We will then have a leisurely time exploring and photographing in the gardens before gathering for a picnic lunch under one of the lovely, big, shady trees.
You can plan your explorations using this interactive map or pdf map.
Why the picnic? There are complications booking lunch for a group at the café. Take-away is available from the Terrace Café or the Observatory Kiosk, however, last year the queues were quite long and with limited options. So, our suggestion is to consider bringing a sandwich etc. from home.
All Melbourne and Camberwell Camera Club members, and friends are very welcome.
A big thankyou to Anne S for arranging our January outings.
For further information about this outing or the Mid-Week Outings Group please contact Jim W via midweekgroup@melbournecameraclub.org.au
Note: This is not a guided tour. You can leave the outing at any stage without notifying the organisers.

Mid-Week Outing – Tuesday 20th January 2026
The NGV Exhibition – Women Photographers 1900-1975 – A Legacy of Light
For our second outing in January, we plan to go to the Women Photographers exhibition at the NGV, 180 St Kilda Road.
It occupies the exhibition space on the ground floor of the St. Kilda Road building.
It is a ticketed event, so we highly recommend that you book a ticket for 11.00am.
Women Photographers 1900–1975: A Legacy of Light celebrates the wide-ranging photographic practices of more than eighty women artists working between 1900 and 1975. Featuring prints, postcards, photobooks and magazines, the exhibition explores the role of photographers as image-makers, and the ways in which women artists create an image of themselves, of others, of the times – from images of the women’s suffrage movement at the turn of the twentieth century, through to the women’s liberation movement and beyond. From Melbourne to Tokyo, Paris to Buenos Aires, the exhibition showcases the works of trailblazing artists such as Berenice Abbott, Lola Álvarez Bravo, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, Imogen Cunningham, Mikki Ferrill, Sue Ford, Christine Godden, Ponch Hawkes, Annemarie Heinrich, Ruth Hollick, Florence Henri, Kati Horna, Germaine Krull, Tina Modotti, Lucia Moholy, Toyoko Tokiwa, Yamazawa Eiko and many more.
Time and place: we plan to meet at 10.30am in the Gallery Kitchen (cafeteria), on the ground floor behind the information counter on the left at the NGV International.
After viewing the exhibition we’ll head back over the river to Beer DeLuxe in Federation Square for lunch at about 12.30 pm.
Please come. As always, all Melbourne and Camberwell Camera Club members, and friends are very welcome.
Thank-you to Anne S for arranging our January outings.
