Accommodation
Conference registrants are responsible for their own accommodation. There are some suggestions listed below.
The conference venue is in Newtown (North), across the Carillon Avenue from the main campus of the University of Sydney.
It would be wise for registrants to seek accommodation nearby. This could include venues in Sydney University student colleges (on campus), the suburbs of Newtown or Camperdown, or in the city, around Central Railway Station from which buses are easily caught along Broadway into City Road and King Street to the conference venue.
If you wish to take a chance on obtaining cheaper accommodation just before the conference, the Wot if? web site is the place to look.
See the following for some suggested accommodation: (listed by area)
