Accommodation options for wildlife tourism conference 2018

Back to main conference page

The conference will be conducted in two locations:

  • Launceston
  • Cradle Mountain

Please book your accommodation ASAP

We suggest you book early, especially if you are seeking budget accommodation on Cradle Mountain, as this is a remote area with few options, and the less expensive rooms are likely to sell out fairly fast.
