Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Worldcons strive to be inclusive and accessible. Accessibility is shaped by the venues we use, the ways we use them and the things our members tell us they need. Our host city, Brisbane, is implementing A City for Everyone: Inclusive Brisbane Plan, 2019-2029 It's a downloadable pdf. #Aussiecon5

Secretly, it turns out that the best breakfast culture on Earth is Australia’s. Best of Western and East Asian dishes (poached eggs & prosciutto or seafood congee at the same caffè!), light & hardy dishes in case people are ravenous from early morning water sports, + mountains of avocado & mango!

One of the lighter things the team discusses is what roles our pets might want on staff. @yaritji.bsky.social's Greyhound Houston wishes to host the Hugos. What role would your pet play at #Aussiecon5 (more Team Pets tomorrow!)

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our Hugo Awards Watch Party at @laworldcon.bsky.social! We also had a great Aussiecon5 celebration afterward for winning the 2028 Worldcon for Brisbane.

A hotel room full of people seated in rows of chairs in front of a large-screen TV. There is a table full of snacks and another with tubs of sodas on ice. The audience are enjoying food and drink whilst they watch the 2026 Hugo Awards ceremony.

Several rows of chairs on the Lanai deck outside the Aussiecon5 party suite, filled with more people enjoying food and drink whilst they watch the 2026 Hugo Awards ceremony through the hotel room's floor-to-ceiling windows. The Lanai deck is decorated with festive strings of lights.
