Hey guys,
Bit of a n00b here, so you'll have to bear with me. I actually go to Griffith at Nathan here in brisbane, studying Environmental Planning. I haven't moved or anything, so can't help you out to that degree.. but can give you a general heads up hey!
Speaking of the parking, I had my worst experience there today yet. Drove around for 15 mins trying to find a park in the closer area, managed to get one eventually..but quite a walk  . Parking fees are $89 a semester for a general permit. Public Transport wise, buses run pretty frequently from the City centre and from a local shopping centre if I do recall.. thats about it. thechuckster is right on the coordination factor -non existent. And don't expect any trains, the train station isn't the closest/convenient thing around.
Accomodation wise - I have heard from a lot of people that on campus student accomodation sucks teh donkeys balls! Small, pokey old rooms - not much fun. Plenty of off campus accomodation though; the surrounding area of Macgregor, Nathan, Robertson and Sunnybank are packed full of student houses.
Summing up though, the University is about 15 mins bus from the city and located in a pocket of bushland in the suburbs. Quite a nice location really. Any other questions, feel free to PM me.
-Luke.
