The Former Origin Greats, or FOGS. FOGS was formed in 1997 primarily to keep the legendary State Of Origin spirit alive. Membership is restricted to that elite group of players - 134 in total - who have worn the maroon of Queensland in rugby league Origin games.

The Suncorp Stadium is at Milton - just outside the Brisbane CBD. See our CBD map for hotels in the city. Please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can travel by train and/or bus to the stadium so City, South Brisbane and West End hotels will all be convenient. There is a new pedestrian walkway from Milton Railway Station to the stadium. Milton is the first stop on the Ipswich line after Roma Street Station and the Transit Centre.
Backpackers hostels offer the cheapest accommodation per person - but if there is a small group of you check Wotif.com for hotel and motel rooms which are charged per room.

Parking is very limited in the area and public transport is highly recommended. See the links below for timetables etc.

TransLink - check this site for details of South East Explorer for unlimited, all day travel on train, participating bus and ferry travel in South East Queensland between Coolangatta and Noosa and west to Helidon.
