[FOSS4G-Oceania-discuss] Melbourne Accommodation

[Jane Elith]

I’ve used these before for visitors – they can be a relatively cheap option if you have people you can share a 2-br apartment with:

In Carlton, easy to get to city etc by tram / walk

Hi,

Anyone know the area of the conference well enough to throw around some accommodation suggestions?

I am traveling with one other person who is also attending, we'd be keen to stay near where the action is but also experience some of what Melbourne has to offer.

Thanks
Andrew
