ACCOMMODATION

We have booked accommodation at the Glenelg Beach Hostel

Housed in an 1878 building, this genteel hostel is a 4-minute walk from the Glenelg Beach and The Beachhouse amusement park, as well as 11 km from Adelaide Central Market.
The simple dorm and private rooms feature duvets and shared bathrooms. Some rooms open to balconies with ornate railings. Rooms are mixed or female-only.
Complimentary continental breakfast is served in the fully equipped kitchen. There's also a basement lounge bar with a flat-screen TV and fireplace, and a furnished beer garden.None of the rooms have private bathrooms, if you require this you will have to book elsewhere close by at your own expense.

Address:1-7 Moseley St, Glenelg SA 5045

Phone:(08) 8376 0007

I am sure there will be catering at the Contest venue during the day. The evening meal is your responsibility but I think we will organise group barbecues at least a couple of nights.

It is close to the facilities and cafes of Glenelg. It is about a 60 minute trip to the Contest venue at Trinity College Gawler.

WHAT YOU WILL REQUIRE

  • Your own bath towels and/or beach towel
  • Instrument, music (Blazon, Equilibrium, I Know Thou Art Mine, Jack O’Lantern, High Command), lyre
  • Polo shirt, Stage uniform, Vest, Hat, black trousers or skirts, black shoes, black socks and belt for men or appropriate ladies’ uniform.
  • Additional clothing and personal effects and it could be cool by our standards in the evenings so you may need a jacket.
  • Money
