We recommend you use Parkopedia to search for the best rates nearby: Parking_near_Old_Government_House The Victoria Street carpark is usually a good option if you can get there early enough to find a spot. The Parkopedia app can tell you how many spaces are available in real time.

Finding the building:
The Old Government House is also not visible from Princes Street. You will need to enter the University Grounds on foot. Here is one recommended route to find it:

The Pullman Hotel is also circled as a landmark for orientation. Across the road from the Pullman, go through the white gates on the corner of Princes Street and Waterloo Quadrant. Please note, you cannot drive through the gates, you can only walk this path. Follow the yellow path marked on the map to get to the OGH.

Finding the room:
We are in the Federation of Graduate Women's Suite (First floor). Walk through the hallway and head for the main staircase, you can't miss it. Follow the signs to the Federation of Graduate Women's Suite.
