If any of you are lucky enough to go but haven’t yet booked a place to stay, check it out!

The Broadening Restorative Perspectives; An International Conference on Monday, 17 June 2013 to Wednesday, 19 June 2013 (with post conference workshops on the 20th) to be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is fast approaching.
A number of potential participants have reported difficulty finding reasonably priced accommodations. We have included several links that will assist those who still wish to attend but have worries about the cost.
Please note that the Melbourne Cricket Grounds are no more than a 20 minute walk, and a very short train/tram ride and then only a minute or two walk, from Melbourne CBD.
We are looking forward to seeing you there and enjoying a terrific program.

Cheers,
(RPI) Conference Committee
