Campus Sporting Facilities

The conference will be held near various UQ sports facilities, so attendees might like to ensure that they bring bathers (the University swimming pool is open to members of the public and those who have had their appetites whetted by Olympics should know that several Australian representatives train in this pool.)

Lunch will be taken beside the tennis courts, so attendees might also like to bring rackets (although it might be better to wait until later in the day to play).

Comprehensive UQ sports information is supplied by the UQ Sport site.
