DRF Symposium - Venue

The DRF 2013 Symposium takes place at picturesque Kiama.

We ask delegates to make their own accommodation reservations by visiting Kiama Tourism and selecting from a wide range of styles and prices of accommodation.

Nearly all accommodation is a walk to the main conference and dinner venue, The Kiama Pavilion.

For delegates flying to NSW, access to Kiama is very easy by train, with an hourly train service running between the airport and Kiama. The train station is a short walk from a range of accommodation and the conference facility. Please follow link to Cityrail South Coast timetable. A bus will operate on Friday for the farm tours, returning delegates without cars to Kiama in order to catch the train back to Sydney.
