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!
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.
