Conference Venue
Ulumbarra Theatre
Gaol Road, Bendigo VIC 3550
Gaol Road, Bendigo VIC 3550
Ulumbarra Theatre is located on Gaol Road, Bendigo, between the Tom Flood Sports Centre and Bendigo Senior Secondary College.
The venue for the conference on its own is reason to participate. The very new Ulumbarra Theatre completed in 2015 is centred in the old gaol, in the middle of the vibrant city. The entrance walls of the new 1000-seat auditorium are the old external walls of the gaol, so if you haven’t been “inside” before, here is your chance. For those who prefer distance views, framing of Bendigo scenery through windows is impressive! Here is a chance to be immersed in history and admire the efforts of Heritage specialists in creating the new, while preserving essence of the old!
