TRAVEL
Travel to Australia
It is important that pilgrims from overseas plan to fly into Melbourne on July 8 to give them time to recover from jetlag and settle in, before the Days in the Dioceses commences on July 10. It is therefore advisable for pilgrims to book flights as early as is possible to help ensure arrival on July 8.
All pilgrims are strongly advised to take out travel insurance before they leave.
Travel between Melbourne and Sydney
Travel will be available from Melbourne to Sydney by coach, rail, and air. However there are some restrictions on rail travel. WIth over 30,000 pilgrims expected in Melbourne, the only feasible travel is by either air or coach. At this stage we plan to transport pilgrims to Sydney by coach on Monday, July 14.
Travel from Australia
Most pilgrims will leave Australia from Sydney, so need to book their outgoing flights from there.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation in Melbourne
The Archdiocese of Melbourne is intending to billet pilgrims with local families. We however are also pursuing the possibility of housing all Juventutem pilgrims in a school hall or community centre, and in relatively close proximity to the main church.
Accommodation in Sydney.
The WYD 2008 Organizing Committee will be arranging basic accommodation for Juventutem pilgrims in either schools, community halls or gymnasiums. Pilgrims should bring sleeping bags and ground mats with them. Further details are available on the official WYD 2008 site:

CHURCHES
Church in Melbourne (Week 1)
The church in Melbourne is planned to be St. Aloysius', home of the Latin Mass community in Melbourne.
Church in Sydney (Week 2)
The church in Sydney will be St. Augustine's, Balmain.
St Augustine's is well-located near Sydney city and harbour and will provide an excellent venue for the Juventutem liturgical program and music workshops
