It can be fun to plan an overseas holiday where you set your itinerary. Sometimes you don't want to be stuck on a bus and herded like cattle when you travel. You want to be free and tailor your own schedule.
These two 2.5 hour informal sessions will explore how to plan, book and enjoy an overseas vacation when you want to do your own thing.
We will explore how to go about this complicated exercise including:
- what to plan
- how to estimate the cost, and zoom in on the actual cost through the process
- when to use a travel agent and when not to use a travel agent
- economy versus premium economy versus business class – air travel
- fly/drive versus bus tours
- consideration of train travel versus car versus bus for medium distances
- travel insurance
- difference between travelling to Europe, USA and Asia – language, culture and cost
- using money overseas
- internet and phone access
- planning for medication
- and much more depending on where the discussion and questions take us.
The session will be guided by an experienced overseas traveller and is not commercially motivated.
The main focus of the sessions will be to answer questions in advance of your proposed planning and travel – especially if you have not travelled internationally or not travelled for many years.
Carers Saturday cuppa and chat is a chance for all people who are currently caring for people with disability, illness, mental health issues and/or ageing to reconnect and find support over a free cuppa.
The session will be facilitated by Dr Nakisa Malakooti. Dr Malakooti is a carer and a neuroscientist and has lived at Manningham for the last 27 years. She is a strong advocate for carers, disability, mental health and dementia patients.

As part of the North East Link Project (NELP), Doncaster Park and Ride will be closed from January 2025 and temporary bus stops will be put in place along Doncaster Road.
Buses will remain operational across all bus routes, including the 207, 280, 282, 284, 285, 303 and the 907 and 908 DART SmartBuses. The Park and Ride will be closed and temporary bus stops will be in place until 2028.
This is part of NELP’s upcoming redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride to connect it to the Eastern Busway, a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
We understand that the community and residents will be impacted as a result of the closures and are actively advocating on your behalf to improve commuter options. Our suggestions to North East Link Project and the State Government include:
- developing a temporary car park at a nearby site
- developing a temporary pick up/drop off area nearby
- providing a dedicated shuttle service
- adding secure bicycle parking, or
- funding improvements to active transport connections from key Manningham locations to the temporary bus stops.
Over the next few weeks, NELP officers will be distributing flyers and doing a door-knock in the local area. You’ll also start to see signage appear soon.
We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available and will continue to advocate for ways that can minimise the impact for our community.
We’re also seeking reliable and sustainable transport options for the Manningham community while the Eastern Busway is being developed. Continue to check back here for updates.
You can read more on the Big Build website and sign up to receive email updates.
Have your say
North East Link Program (NELP) has released designs for the redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride. Help shape the next piece of the Eastern Busway.
We welcome the Victorian Government’s commitment to purchasing only Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs) for public transport from 1 July 2025.
The move to ZEB’s will significantly reduce emissions and pollutants, creating a healthier environment for our community.
It will also provide a smoother, quieter and cleaner travel experience, which we hope will encourage greater use of Manningham’s extensive bus network.
