MAP

Cumberland St.

DRIVING
The following directions take you to the corner where the St David
Lecture Theatre Complex is located. The main entrance faces Cumberland
St and is where registration will take place.
 
From the North
Follow the Northern Motorway into Dunedin on to Cumberland Street (one way). After the first set of traffic lights there is a large sports
ground on the right (the North Ground), at the far end of the ground
turn left into St David Street.

From the South
Following the Southern Motorway into Dunedin you will find yourself on
the one way system heading north. Continue into town passing the
Dunedin Public Hospital on your left and just after the Otago Museum on your right, turn right in to St David Street, cross Cumberland Street
(one way).

Classes and exams will be over by 17 November, so hopefully parking
will not be an insurmountable problem, although there really isn't much
paid parking and even less free parking in the vicinity of the campus.
I believe all parking on the campus itself is limited to pass-holders.
If you require disability support, please check
http://www.otago.ac.nz/disabilities/maps/ although when I checked the
website was still in progress.

DINNER
The conference dinner on Monday 17 November will be held at Scotia,
located in Dunedin's iconic railway station at 7pm. We will be having a
set menu with a range of three choices for each course (including
vegetarian) but you can still check their website at
http://www.scotiadunedin.co.nz/ to get an idea of what it is like. It
is about 10 minutes walk from campus.

Accommodation

St. Margaret's Residential College

There are numbers of Hotels on George Street that are in close vicinity to the University
