About Brisbane
Stunning by nature, Brisbane is renowned for its relaxed outdoor lifestyle, friendly locals, cultural scene and diverse attractions. Brisbane has a vibrant edge, a free-spirited optimism, a sense of adventure and a determination to do things just that little bit differently.
Here, the thinking is shared, the ideas are up for grabs, and the problems are solved together at international and national conventions. And in between the itinerary, whether you have a few hours or a few days, there is plenty for you to experience and make the most of every moment.
You’ll be welcomed in and shown the local places to visit, the designer labels at Queen Street Mall and James Street, the alfresco bistro and cafes, and specialist bars. Brisbane’s city lifestyle is marked by South Bank’s inner-city beach, riverside parklands hugging the Brisbane River, and culture-rich precinct housing Australia’s largest Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Museum, and Queensland Performing Art Complex.
And, of course, it’s about a long-standing love affair with the outdoors. Brisbane lives and breathes outdoor experiences. From cuddling a koala, to hand-feeding wild dolphins at sunset on the pristine beaches of Moreton Bay, to escaping to a lush mountain hideaway, you will have an unforgettable experience.

Conference Location
CLTFA 2016 will be held in Brisbane, Australia. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, generally referred to as the Sunshine State. The city is built on the Brisbane River that winds its way down from the mountains to Moreton Bay, the playground of whales, dugongs, dolphins. The Moreton Bay Marine Park offers visitors the potential for diving on coral reefs, recreational fishing, or just taking in the views. One hour’s drive south is the Gold Coast and the famous Surfers Paradise. The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most frequented tourist resort areas with miles of golden beaches, as well as many other attractions.
The conference will be held at the Gardens Point Campus of QUT. QUT is Australia’s top university under 50 years old, and is rated 26th in the world in the Times Higher Education listing. The Gardens Point Campus is adjacent to the Queensland Botanical Gardens, and to Brisbane City itself, on the river front.
July is Brisbane’s “winter”, an ideal time to travel in Australia, with average day-time high temperatures around 20 degrees (70 Fahrenheit). Take a few extra days and bring the family along to see the outback, Great Barrier Reef, or lounge on one of the fabulous beaches along the Gold or Sunshine Coasts nearby!
