I have good news.
Our accommodation has been BOOKED.
We are staying in STYLE at Rydges South Bank, in the Brisbane CBD.
I believe Suncorp Stadium is a 5 minute bus ride away.
I've been flat out at work today, costings will follow.
It will be AROUND $75 PER NIGHT for the triples = around $150 each.
Those in a double room will pay slightly more than the rest, who are in triples.
Nothing final - havent had a moment to think today. But yes we are booked and this is great news as accommodation was very hard to find in Brisbane on that weekend, particularly for such a large group.
More to come...I'm going out.
Cheers all.
