While it is quite a nice walk along the river from the Brisbane CBD
to UQ it might take 40-60 minutes...
The UQ venue is a short distance up the river from the CBD. Bus,
ferry and taxi transport options are available.
Day and hourly paid parking is available at UQ. The meeting will
occur during student study break, so the campus should be less busy
than usual, but parking nearby the venue may be in-demand if other
events are occuring at the time.
