        Yep all free, all you can eat. Ticket price barely covers competitor tshirts. Everything is covered by corporate sponsors.

        @Hackagong: Rackspace credit eh? You've tempted me just to come along anyway, it's only a 20 min drive.

        @fruit: Yep that's all you need. You can work on whatever you'd like solo, or if you need team members there's a pub meetup this Thursday 6pm at the uniBar (actually we're giving free tickets to anyone who attends that). Also Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hackagongers

  Damn. I wish I knew about this earlier.

  Seriously thinking about flying on Friday from WA for this.

  Anyone got tips on reasonable accommodation in Wollongong?

    AssociatedHackagong @ hackagong.com on 16/09/2015 - 15:39

    Epic :D

    Um, shoot an email through to [email protected] and the team will help you out.

    Reasonable price wise or accommodation wise? The Novotel, Mantra are good hotels in the city (Novotel is close to the beach, Mantra is close to the train). There is a free public shuttle bus outside the Mantra that will take you to the venue (the University).

    There are also Quest and other serviced apartments in the area. Probably some Hotels.com or RatesToGo vouchers that may help.

  I found a coupon that gives 100% off, message me if you are serious about going and I'll send it to you. There's only like 22 places left I don't want people registering who won't attend.
