10. Visa Arrangements

Australia has formal visa waiver arrangements with many countries. Delegates are strongly advised to check with their nearest Australian Consulate or their travel agent as soon as possible about visa requirements.

If a letter of invitation is required please contact us via the conference e-mail address. Please inform us immediately of any difficulties you may experience in obtaining a visa after observing the usual regulations.

11. Accommodations

Hotel accommodations are available at the Hilton Hotel or in the Adelaide Central district (10-minute maximum walk to Conference). Lower priced College accommodation is also available a couple of kilometers from the Hilton Hotel (30 minute maximum walk to Conference) or a Hotel a little further away which will provide a shuttle bus service to the Conference.

All Hotels selected are air-conditioned. College accommodation is not air-conditioned.

You are asked to specify your accommodation preference on the registration form, including such information as which price range your require and distance from the Conference Centre. Please be careful to note any specific needs/requirements you may have. All prices quoted are in Australian Dollars (and are correct at the time of printing of this circular).

12. Conference Lunches/Dinners

As the Conference is being held in the Adelaide central business district there are many excellent and reasonable eating places located within a short walk from the Hilton Hotel (the Hilton Hotel also has two restaurants and a bistro). Grote and Gouger Streets, which run either side of the Hilton Hotel, have many cafes and smaller restaurants, which serve quite a diversity of food.

Practically any kind of food can be found in this area, from a simple sandwich to French, Chinese, Thai, Italian, etc. The Adelaide Central Market is also located in this area and fresh produce: fruit, vegetables, meat, cheeses and groceries are available.

The Conference dinner will be held on the Wednesday evening at a local winery (the dinner for delegates is included in the Registration fee).

13. Transportation

Adelaide Airport is located approximately 7 kilometers from the Adelaide central business district. A taxi from Adelaide Airport to Adelaide will cost approximately A$12.00. There is an airport bus service, which runs regularly, and the cost for a one-way ticket is A$6.00. The airport bus service has drop off points at most of the major hotels around Adelaide.  

The Adelaide Hilton Hotel is very conveniently located within the Adelaide central business district and most of the accommodations (hotel and college) we have selected are reasonably close and also within easy walking distance for most delegates.
