Area information

• Attendee from abroad? Check SkyCheck fro flights to the conference location.
• Where are the nearest pubs, restaurants for Wednesday/Friday night?

There are quite a number of dining establishments in Toowong and the RE pub around High St. There's also the Regatta Pub/Steakhouse on Coronation Drive, and another dining district on Park Road in Milton.

There are a number of nice restaurants up the other end of Simpsons Rd (towards the city). There's an Italian, a Thai, and a couple of other Asian web hosting style restaurants. Its a fairly decent walk from the Conference Centre, but certainly doable.

Lots of nice restaurants a little further away at Rosalie. You'll probably need transport to get there, though.
