The Victorian Rocketry Association is a club dedicated to flying rockets for hobby and amateur enthusiasts. We are a chapter of the global Tripoli Rocketry Association. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and interests, but are united by their interest in building and launching rockets. We operate under strictly controlled safety codes, in approved aviation airspace, and are insured for our activities. We hold regular launches at our Serpentine launch site, and hold social events and presentations several times each year. We also mentor and support university engineering student teams from around Australia.

Visitors and families are welcome at our launches to learn more about rocketry. Information about our upcoming launches and social events can be found on the Events page. Registration is mandatory.

To attend a launch or other event, you must order a ticket to that event. Entry to the event is only possible if you have registered in advance.

Serpentine Working Bee - 18th October 2026
Serpentine Launch Site
10:00 – 17:00
10 am Sunday, day after our last launch of 2026 will be a club working bee to undertake maintenance and preparation work on our range equipment before the end of the flying season. We will also do some work around our equipment storage area to clean-up the site, remove debris, and cut grass.   Launch Site Location: Our Serpentine launch site is located approximately 43km from Bendigo along the Loddon Valley highway. For those heading out of Melbourne, drive to Bendigo, and then out through Eaglehawk along the Loddon Valley highway (B260), after approximately 30 mins start looking for a bridge over “Bullock Creek” 3.5km from this bridge you will see a cluster of trees, and on your right you will see a gate, you can enter through this gate and drive to the launch site. Please approach the site slowly as we all don’t want to be covered in dust, and there maybe cables across the road. If you miss this entrance 6.5km from the creek you will see another entrance to your right, drive in through here and then right out along the track past the harvester shed, follow the road along the edge of the field until it makes a right hand turn, continue to follow this until your reach the intersection, where you will find our range head. If you continue down the highway and your reach “Serpentine” you have gone too far! For Serpentine the GPS coordinate of the entry gate is -36.50066, 144.01692 https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2%B030'02.4%22S+144%C2%B001'00.9%22E/@-36.50066,144.0147313,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x5c37ecb02ea5b157!8m2!3d-36.50066!4d144.01692 Registration To help us plan the activity, you MUST register for this event.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via our website, facebook or instagram.
