Travel Information
FLIGHT DateS
Depart:
May 4, 2012 (fly into Brisbane "BNE" or
Gold Coast "OOL")
Return:
August 19, 2012 or any day thereafter (depart from BNE or OOL).
You will arrive on Sunday
May 6 and orientation week commences
the next day on Monday May 7. You can
not move into campus housing until Sunday
May 6 and if you are staying in Varsity
Towers, you can not move-in until Monday May
7.
Remember, you lose a day when travelling to
Australia from North America, therefore, to land
on May 6th,
you need to depart May 4th.
If you
plan to arrive in
Australia
or on campus earlier than May 6th, you will need to make separate
accommodation arrangements at your own cost.
We can assist with this. Any such
arrangements should be made as early as
possible.
Of
course, if you are doing a Bachelors or
Masters degree at Bond, you don't need to
return at all and can stay on campus or
elsewhere in Australia during the
August/September break.
