Clock off from work. Take this evening to be daring. Meet and start something new. Explore things you’ve always wanted to discover. Sweet number exchanges. Sweet love letters. Sweethearts. You never know who might show.

Daisy and Koa had forged a friendship at the last gathering, their connection igniting unexpectedly outside on the kerbside, with Koa lending Daisy a lighter—a moment of serendipity that led to a bond that felt as instant as it was electric. Now they were back again, both energised by a shared goal: to yearn and to avoid anyone simply seeking to beat around the bush. Tonight’s highlight was the Live Lesbian Dating Show, an affair painted with the hues of laughter and spontaneity. Promoted as a whimsical escapade, it promised not just chuckles but also the tantalising possibility of new romantic entanglements, should fate choose to play its hand. As the host introduced the contestants, Daisy found herself cheering, her laughter blended with the energy of the crowd, but her eyes kept darting to Koa, who was seated beside them, playfully rolling her eyes at the antics on stage.

Their short moment was interrupted as Daisy and Koa exchanged an incredulous glance. Without pausing to think, they both blurted out in laughter, '"Is that Bowie?'"

Third Rodeo Background

At Third Rodeo, we believe in creating a warm and inviting space for the Lesbian and Queer community to thrive. Our events are designed specifically for individuals in their 20s and up, providing a dedicated environment where you can make meaningful connections.

Our philosophy is simple. We are your Third home.

Whether you come solo or with friends, or if its your First or Third Rodeo, you’ll find our atmosphere relaxed, charming, and just a little bit cheeky! We’re all about bringing people together, and we’re thrilled to have hosted successful events in Naarm/Melbourne, Eora/Sydney, and Meanjin/Brisbane. Many of my own beautiful queer friendships have blossomed from these gatherings, and I can’t wait for you to experience the same.

I know it can be intimidating to show up alone, but trust me—you’re not alone in that feeling. Everyone is here for the same reason: to connect and find their community. You’ll quickly find that our crowd is warm, friendly, and welcoming!

Thank you for supporting our Lesbian/Non-Binary led small business. Your encouragement means the world to us, and I adore each and every one of you. I can’t wait to see you at our next event!

With love,
Jessy
