SoberQ Podcast
The SoberQ Podcast is produced by AA members here in Melbourne. Each week, we ask an AA member to answer a question about the AA program. You can listen to the latest episode here.

AA Events
Events for the next two weeks
Meetings, meditation, and fun in a peaceful bush setting – that’s the Bill W Camp – now in its 30th year. Some great sharing at meetings under the stars, morning meditation by the river, a damper cooking competition (BYO flour), a dip in the pool or bring your talent to Red Faces.
It’s a camp, so bring your own everything including a chair for meetings. We provide a cooked breakfast on Saturday morning and a BBQ Saturday night ($5 each) , with a potluck lunch to close the camp on Sunday. Cold water, tea and coffee are supplied – in your own mug. Bring what you need for other meals or use the quality bistro at the park’s office.
The Douglas Daly Tourist Park reserves an area for us which includes a camping and vehicle site. If you are camping ($25 per night) no need to book. The park also reserves us a few caravan sites close to the action. If you’d like to book a powered site, reserve a room or self-contained cabin BOOK EARLY – the park gets busy. Contact the park direct on 08 8978 2479 and say: “I’m with the Bill W Camp”.
