As a newbie in Australia not knowing anyone, Melbourne dating Speed is perfect social event to get out, socialize, find cool bars, make friends and maybe find your other half. I have been a few times now at the pub crawls and actually made a really good friend who was in similar circumstance and happened to live nearby. So thanks Darcy. Looking forward for other great events.
