“Tempus Fugit” is a latin phrase that describes the fleeting nature of time. Time Flies! It’s been more than three years since Yarra Ranges Coworking first came into being. It’s been at least a year that we’ve been seriously looking for a premises to open our first coworking space in the region. We tried to buy a house, we tried …
Not all shared offices are created equal! …and not all coworking spaces will provide the sort of experience that your business needs. It can be a challenge to find the right space for your business at the right time in its growth journey. This task is made so much simpler if you happen to be in the CBD or a …
One of our regular members, Leigh, sent through a link to a new post on her own site about the importance of finding your tribe. It made me reflect on my own consideration of tribe, of belonging and simply being around other like-minded people.

Each of these discussions followed a similar theme, dealing with workspaces and included …
So we’ve had a great response from independent workers and business owners looking to network and have a better business life.

School holidays are now over and many of our members have chosen to work from home or to take time to care for their kids during this time. So our last couple of sessions of hills coworking have …
We’re still going strong. We’ve now been meeting at Wild Oak for some weeks and we’re loving the idea of working independently, together. We’ve had a few more newcomers over the recent weeks and we expect more first timers tomorrow.
