ACCOMMODATION

We have managed to arrange some deals with hotels and hostels near the
University, so please consider
booking at one of the following places - http://ausdwcon.org/pages/accommodation
Options range from a luxurious four star hotel down to the budget
backpackers - but please do not
feel restricted by our recommendations, stay anywhere you like.

For those who would like to save money and share a room with a strange
friend or friendly stranger,
please use this forum thread for arranging things:

If you live locally in Adelaide and would be willing to give up your
spare bed or floor space to
a visitor, or if you're a vistor who really wants to save money,
please discuss billeting arrangements

EXCLUSIVE CONVIVIUM ATTENDEES-ONLY T-SHIRT AND SCARF

attended the best Australian
