In some preliminary investigations a couple of years ago I checked out
the University of Melbourne (my university). It has a wide selection
of lecture theatres etc for hosting the sessions (most being wired for
audio recording already, and some for video), and between semesters
rooms in the colleges are available for rent at pretty reasonable
prices - this would suit a bulk order of accommodation. The campus is
also close to the city and other accommodation.
