Over 100 men, spanning a wide age group, are involved in the activities of The Nomads. Members come from Melbourne, country Victoria and the other states of Australia. All members identify as being gay or gay-friendly. The Nomads is based in Melbourne, Australia.

The activities of The Nomads cover a broad spectrum, with a strong outdoor influence. Examples include:

Day walks through locations in Melbourne and country Victoria;
Bushwalking ranging from overnight to one or more weeks;
Base camping;
Bike rides over a single day and weekend;
Cross country skiing and snow camping;
Indoor Rock-Climbing;
Canoeing, kayaking and white water rafting;
Cultural activities including movie nights, theatre and musicals;
Social activities such as restaurant nights, Christmas parties and beachside barbecues.

As often as possible, activities are graded to indicate the level of difficulty and/or effort involved in them. There may be some special equipment required.

All outdoor activities have some degree of risk attached to them, but The Nomads is committed to managing and minimising those risks. Events are graded and The Nomads trains Leaders to analyse potential risks and to plan and conduct activities to minimise them.

Membership for The Nomads is paid on an annual basis and is renewable on January 1st each year. Membership covers the cost of producing and distributing newsletters, insurance and administration.

The Nomads produces four Newsletters a year, with each newsletter covering a four month period. The four months allow for forward planning, and correspond approximately to the seasons.
