I'll be there for a while too. I need to leave about 2.

Some less ideal alternative venues:

1. The Cauliflower Hotel
About 5 mins drive from UNSW, in Waterloo on Botany Rd. Did have free 
wireless and an upstairs room, I'd want to check this is still the case.

2. If we're really stuck
My place is just near Green Square and networked. However, we'd need to 
wrap up by 2.
