ACCOMMODATION BOOKINGS

The best method for booking accommodation at a reasonable price for the meeting is to go the following web site:

www.wotif.com

On the main menu, select “Melbourne” from the choices, then “Go”:  this will take you to the “Choose accommodation” area.

In the “Advanced search” box, search for “Parkville” or “Carlton” OR click onto the drop-down box defaulted to “All destinations” and select these suburbs. 

Make sure you select a date that includes the Symposium (July 1-3, 2010)

Press “Go” to display the selection.

This will then display the current selection of hotels and type of accommodation available during the week of the Symposium.  You can then select appropriate accommodation at the right price for your needs.

The Symposium is being held at the Bio21 Institute located at 30 Flemington Rd, Parkville, in the vicinity of The University of Melbourne (corner of Grattan St/Royal Pde).  You will be able to identify the location of hotels in relationship to these locations and determine the most convenient – for walking or taking a tram.

Melbourne has a good and frequent tram service that runs from the central city to Flemington Rd and Royal Pde (along Elizabeth St).  The following link will explain how this system works:
