Not too bad, but it tends to be a bit noisy.  It also fails on your "public
transport" requirement - it's not near public transport, IMO.  Better than,
say, Miller would be (look it up on your outer outer western Sydney maps),
but it's still not particularly close to the Train station.

- Doesn't cost much to hire (which I believe is one of the problems voiced
with the WBH).  Considering the amount of food and drink bought (especially
since there are at least 3 separate-but-associated meetings held there over
the course of the average month) surely they'd be making their costs back on
it...
