Enjoy a delicious three-course meal and beverages as well as light entertainment at the symposium dinner. Pee Wees at the Point is an award-winning venue at a spectacular waterfront location, nestled amongst the environment of the East Point Reserve. Originally the restaurant was built on a site called Pee Wee’s Camp, which was established in 1911 when East Point was developed to protect Port Darwin against naval attacks. The site has been recognised as having significant heritage value and has been listed on the National Estate of the NT Heritage registers.

Coach transfers: There will be two pick up locations to transfer delegates to Pee Wees at the Point. If attending, you will be asked during the registration process to select your preferred pick-up location or if you will make your own way.

Coaches will arrive outside the hotel for pick up at 5:45pm. Please meet in the foyer at 5:40pm at the selected hotel. It is important to be there on time. After the dinner, coaches will depart Pee Wees at 10pm and 11pm and return delegates to the original pick-up locations, listed below:
