Ted Talks: What Sitting all Day does to your Brain & Body
Watch this at home before you join us. Can a five-minute walk change how you feel all day?

As it is important for us to keep up to date with technology, this one is fascinating. Pauline will lead this interesting and fun discussion. Bring along an open mind and a sense of humour - $5 cash for non members. Cheers Chris [email protected]

Is Primitivism Powerful?
Note to Attendees: Please consider making a $5 donation to contribute to the running costs of this Meetup. For most of human history, people lived in tribal communities, closely connected to nature, tradition, and one another. Modern civilisation has brought extraordinary progress, but has something valuable been lost? Can we learn from the customs, beliefs, and social structures of tribal cultures, or do we risk romanticising ways of life often marked by hardship? At this Gold Coast meetup, we’ll explore the appeal of primitivism, the wisdom of traditional societies, and what they might teach us about the future. The questions we will address are: This event will be held at SOPO Brewing Co. on the Gold Coast. It is near CSi Club Southport. This is NOT to be confused with SOPO Southport (near the library). After the discussion, we’ll stay on for a meal and a drink together — a chance to continue the conversation in a more relaxed setting and support the venue. PLEASE NOTE: Please support the venue by purchasing a drink or meal during the event. This is intended to be a good-natured but robust discussion. Please be respectful and prepared to have your ideas challenged. If you are easily offended, this event may not be for you.

Cost To help Troy keep this Meetup subscription going, it would be ideal if we can all throw down $2 on the day and I'll send it to him. About your host Hi, my name is Mark Reynolds and I began my deep healing journey in 2015, when I realised I ticked all the boxes for "low self-esteem." I became obsessed with uprooting the beliefs that were holding me down, while learning how to intentionally manifest and trust my intuition. The more I grew my awareness of the difference between ego and self, the easier it became to receive guidance from my soul and reality's cues. Now I'm in a place where I feel an equal mix of peace and excitement for what's coming next, and I'm ready to emerge from my hermit phase and grow a circle of like-minded friends again.

SecTalks Gold Coast 3×9 – Nov 2026 – The Rise and Fall of TeamPCP
TeamPCP is a financially motivated cybercrime group that emerged in late 2025 and became one of the most prolific actors targeting the open-source software supply chain. The group specializes in compromising developer accounts, GitHub repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and package-publishing infrastructure to inject credential-stealing malware into legitimate npm and PyPI packages. During 2026, TeamPCP dramatically scaled its operations through Mini Shai-Hulud, a self-propagating supply-chain worm that steals GitHub, package-registry, cloud, and developer credentials and then uses that access to compromise additional projects, creating cascading infections. Its campaigns have affected hundreds of packages and prominent developer and security tooling, while the group has also engaged in data theft, extortion, cryptocurrency theft, partnerships with other cybercriminal groups, and eventually released its own malware source code to encourage further supply-chain compromises. This talk will dive into what made TeamPCP such a powerful milestone in the history of software supply chain attacks. Paul will share details about the case that have never been published before, as well as his own case notes and tracking. Drinks are provided by our sponsor, Solis, and pizza is provided by Cyber Audit Team. As usual, our venue is sponsored by COHORT. GC SecTalks maintains a strict Code of Conduct.

SecTalks Gold Coast Nov 2026 - Brotlipocalypse: The Bug Hiding in Plain Sight
Title: Brotlipocalypse: The Bug Hiding in Plain Sight - speaker Paul McCarty CVE-2026-111497 is a great example of how a simple vulnerability can become a surprisingly difficult software supply chain problem. In this talk, we'll walk through the vulnerable Brotli source code, break down the bug in plain English, and show why it's remarkably easy to understand once you know where to look. Then comes the hard part: finding it in the wild. Brotli is everywhere, but it isn't always installed as a library or tracked as a package dependency. Developers frequently vendor the source code directly into their projects, making traditional dependency scanners and SBOMs potentially blind to vulnerable copies. We'll explore real-world examples, examine why conventional vulnerability detection falls short, and discuss practical techniques for hunting down vulnerable code across the open-source ecosystem. The takeaway: Finding a vulnerability in source code is one thing. Finding every copy of that code is an entirely different challenge. Drinks are provided by our sponsor, Solis, and pizza is provided by Cyber Audit Team. As usual, our venue is sponsored by COHORT. GC SecTalks maintains a strict Code of Conduct.

APS & elsewhere present: The Phosphenes
Formed out of Caboolture’s suburban sprawl, The Phosphenes have quickly developed a reputation for raw, infectious alternative rock, pulling heavily from 90s grunge, garage rock and power pop punk. Their sound has drawn comparisons to acts including Violent Soho, Jebediah, You Am I and DZ Deathray, with triple j Unearthed describing recent track “D.Y.V” as a “huge punk anthem”. Joining them is Gold Coast five piece Scarfe, an indie rock outfit built around three part harmonies, varied instrumentation and a genre bending approach to songwriting. Also on the bill is Bella Jon, an emerging Gold Coast artist whose live shows lean into storytelling and powerful vocals, bringing a different dynamic to the night alongside the heavier guitar driven acts. Jet Lindsay completes the four act lineup, making this a showcase of emerging artists and new sounds from around the local scene. The show lands at Elsewhere, tucked above Cavill Avenue in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Since opening in 2003, Elsewhere has established itself as one of the Gold Coast’s best known independent live music spaces, with an intimate room and a long history of supporting local and emerging artists. Expect a Friday night moving between grunge, indie rock, punk energy, harmonies and singer songwriter influences, with four very different emerging acts sharing one stage.

Digitality V
Digitality is back. And this time, we're taking it further. After everything we've built together over the past editions, we decided that the next Digitality couldn't simply be another party. It had to be an evolution. For this edition, we're making our biggest investment in Digitality so far, putting significantly more resources, time and energy into creating the experience we've always envisioned. What to expect: bigger production, an upgraded visual experience with 3 projectors in total, a completely new stage concept, a more immersive decoration and art gallery, flow performances, enhanced lighting and projections, and a carefully selected lineup of local and interstate artists. Every element is being pushed further. From the moment you walk through the doors, we want you to feel like you've entered another environment, where music, art, light and movement become one experience. Expect a journey through Psytech, Progressive Psytrance and Prog Dark, moving deeper as the night unfolds. Digitality has never been about simply putting DJs behind a booth. It's about creating a space where the underground psychedelic community can meet, dance, connect and experience something different together. And for this one, we're going bigger than we ever have before. More sound. More art. More production. More detail. More Digitality. We've learned from every edition. Now it's time to show you what Digitality can really become. Tickets (including booking fee): Early Birds $35 (sold out), First Release $45, Second Release $55, Final Release / Door $60. Saturday 7 November 2026, 5.30pm doors, tickets from $35, 18+. Limited capacity, so get in early.

Learn how to assess the health of our waterways by sampling and collecting data on waterbug species. The event is on Saturday, 7 November, from 9am to 11am at Long Tan Park, Currumbin Valley, QLD 4223. You may not have noticed before, but our rivers and creeks are home to hundreds of different species of waterbugs. Some of these waterbugs are extremely sensitive to pollution. When we sample water, we test for the presence or absence of these waterbugs to let us know whether a waterway is healthy or not. This activity is suitable for both children and adults of all ages. You will learn how to collect waterbug samples correctly before collecting and identifying the different species. The data collected is nationally recognised and is shared with our local councils to provide up-to-date information about the health of our waterways. What to bring includes gum boots or water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without closed-toe shoes due to safety concerns. Sun protection includes natural non-polluting sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and long sleeves. A towel and lots of drinking water should also be brought. Please make sure to register to secure your place and receive event updates. If we have to cancel this event due to weather concerns, attendees will be notified via email and mobile phone. This event is proudly supported by the City of Gold Coast, Catchment and Citizen Science Grants Program.

Australian rock icons Jet are bringing their powerhouse live show back to the stage, celebrating more than two decades of chart-topping hits and global success. Formed in Melbourne in 2001, the band exploded onto the international scene with their debut album Get Born, which has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide. The record spawned a string of enduring rock anthems including Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ and Look What You’ve Done, earning Jet six ARIA Awards and widespread acclaim across Australia, the UK and the US. Their success continued with 2006’s Shine On, featuring fan favourites Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Bring It On Back and Rip It Up. Backed by explosive live performances and a memorable Big Day Out run, the album achieved Platinum status in Australia. In 2023, Jet celebrated the 20th anniversary of Get Born with their first headline shows in five years, performing the landmark album in full for fans eager to relive the songs that defined a generation. The same year, the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, cementing their place in Australian music history. Joining them are Sydney indie rockers Liquid Zoo. Known for their electrifying live performances, the five-piece blend punchy riffs, driving rhythms and infectious hooks, drawing inspiration from The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Amyl and the Sniffers, and Fontaines D.C.

JET | The Rumblin' Regional Revue
Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album “Get Born”. The album produced a string of classic singles in “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, “Rollover DJ”, and “Look What You've Done” and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world. Jet’s follow up album “Shine On” followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”, “Bring It On Back” and “Rip It Up”, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007. 2023 marked 20 years since the release of their debut album ‘Get Born’. To celebrate, Jet embarked on their first band shows in 5 years, playing Get Born in full, re-visiting the incredible tracklist that won them fans right across the world – including such timeless tracks such as Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Look What You’ve Done, Rollover DJ and Get Me Outta Here. Songs that sound as invigorating today as they did 20 years ago. Reflecting on the album, Nic Cester said, ‘Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lightning in a bottle.’ In November 2023 Jet received the honour of being the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees. LIQUID ZOO are a Sydney indie rock five-piece built for high-energy live shows. Combining punchy riffs, driving rhythms, and anthemic songs, their music hits hard and sticks with you. Their sound channels the swagger of The Strokes, the grit of early Kings of Leon, with the explosive intensity of Amyl and the Sniffers and the fresh edge of Fontaines D.C.
