Canberra's airport is a short
shuttle bus or
taxi ride from the
city centre and the National Library (each is about 15 minutes from the
airport).
You can also get to Canberra by
train or there
are a range of bus services which have regular services to Canberra from other

If you are coming to the

information and details of how to join the group.
Getting around Canberra
Transport will be provided from
the hotels listed above to the conference venue and social events and return to
these hotels as well.
There are parking spaces for over
350 vehicles and 6 motorcycles at the National Library. The carparks are
patrolled by parking inspectors so you would be wise to check any time
restrictions before leaving your vehicle. There are 6 'Disabled Persons' car
parking spaces and ramp access on the south (Treasury) side of the building.
Our website includes information about getting to
the Library (including a map).
Canberra is well serviced with
