Venue & Accomodation

The retreat this year will be hosted at the Mantra Legends at Surfers paradise. Both the Main Retreat and ECR Retreat will be held at the same venue.

Accomodation is available from Sunday night (October 29th) to Friday morning (November 3rd). Sunday night accomodation will only be booked for you if you have indicated on the registration form that it is required.

Travel

Please arrange travel through the standard travel procedures at your node. Each node is responsible for travel costs to the retreat.

Travel from Gold Coast Airport to Mantra Legends
There are two main options:

  1. Taxi from airport direct to hotel door ~$60.
  2. Bus, followed by tram into surfers paradise, and then a one block walk ~$25 - $30. Buses leave every 20 - 30min.

We suggest you share a cab with a friend. Jump onto the Postdoc retreat channel on slack to see who else is arriving at the same time as you.

Who covers what costs?

ACEMS central will cover accomodation and catering at the retreat. Your node is responsible for covering your travel and any other costs.
