Accomodation
Canberra is Australia’s capital city. When both houses of Parliament are sitting, it can be quite busy. However, during 13-16 February 2012, only the House of Representatives will be sitting. This means that several hotels in Canberra are likely to be offering special low rates for the 16-20 February 2012 period.
Here are several hotels that are within walking distance of the conference venue:
- University House: http://www.anu.edu.au/unihouse/accomm/accommodation.html
