Hotel

The Gathering’s Hotel is the Ibis Styles in Elizabeth Street Brisbane. We have an “Open Block” booking which means we we are not contracted for a specific number of rooms. Rooms therefore are subject to availability so book early. There are several Ibis hotels in Brisbane so make sure you have the preferred one!

Ibis Styles Rally Arrangements

You may, should you choose to do so, extend your booking by up to two days before and after the Gathering with the same conditions. Connecting rooms are available as are rooms with enhanced access. You should confirm details directly with the Hotel.

Parking

There are a number of parking options close to the Hotel for those joining us locally. These include Wilson's.

Brisbane and Australia

Daily high temperatures in July average about 22 degrees Celsius or 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Brisbane is about 900 KM (or 570 miles) north of Sydney.

Australia is vast, roughly the same size as continental USA and there are many places one can visit including those in Queensland.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the First Peoples – the Traditional Owners of the lands where we are, and we recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay respect to Elders – past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islanders continue to play.
