Unfortunately, we've been a little bit slack in the
meeting-people-at-UQ-bus-stop department of late.

To find the building commonly referred to as 'Hawken', it is assumed that
you have a basic idea of the layout of the University.  In short, you turn
right at the roundabout off Sir Fred Schonell Drive, turn left at the end
of this street into Carmody road (which, incidentally, is 50km/hr).

After a few turns of Carmody you will be ready to go vaguely straight
through another roundabout.  Near here is the UQ Bus Stop for your
interest, but the road you want is Upland Rd.  So far you are merely
skirting the edges of the University, but you will then want to turn left
into Sir William McGregor Drive (its the 2nd left after the roundabout,
the first is a service road).

After gently going over the large speed bump (it is *not* a zebra crossing
as some people have found), take the next left into College Road and then
the second left into Coopers Rd.  By now you are probably completely lost,
so I would suggest you refer to
http://www.uq.edu.au/maps/index.phtml?menu=1&id=25&z=1 as a better
reference.  As you turn left into Coopers, there is a large parking area
on your left, and Hawken is vaguely across the road from this. 

S201 is on the second level of Hawken, and is near the junk food vending
machines.  Usually it is the only room open on that level.
