re: QUT Car Park
Please notice that the time between 1-5pm is the peak hour!
Few reasons you should avoid that:
1. Exhausting queue might take up at least 45 minutes, its normally full
2. No stopping zone means you cannot stop and wait (no ‘camping’ allowed!)
3. Bewarned its one way route, once you get in you can only exit to the main roads. This means you are going off the uni and turn around in city, and then come back in again.
