Location & map
How to get there
Local
Head north up Northbourne Avenue from Civic. Turn right at Morphett Street. Daramalan's parking entrance is off Morphett Street.
Interstate
Northbourne Avenue and Antill Street is the first big intersection after the Barton Highway. If you're coming from Sydney you're already on Northbourne and you'll pass the Barton highway on your right. If you're coming from Melbourne, the Barton Highway ends at Northbourne Avenue. Don't try to keep going straight on. Turn right onto Northbourne.
From Northbourne, turn left at Morphett Street and look for the car park entrance on your left.
Please note: Do not arrive at the con-site before registration opens at 6pm Friday 6 June. This is a working school where school children will still be on site and being interviewed by the police often offends.
Food and gear
You can find food at many places through the Dickson Centre, and along Woolley, Cape and Badham Streets (see Food for slightly more detail). Dickson Centre also has the usual assortment of supermarkets, chemists, newsagents, bakeries and real-estate agents. There is also a medical centre and a public library if you're feeling particularly Cthulhuvian.
Finding accommodation
Anywhere in Civic or the Inner North would be within 10 minutes drive. Belconnen, Gungahlin or Inner South would be 20 minutes. Tuggeranong can be 30+ minutes. One does not simply "commute" from Mordor.
It is not recommended that you rely on public transport during a long weekend. If needs must, however, please refer to the ACTION website for bus times.
