International Symposium on Music Acoustics. Sydney and Katoomba, Some Local Knowledge
International Symposium on Music Acoustics. Sydney and Katoomba, Some local knowledge Space and time Sydney is about 151° E and 34° S. So 10 hours ahead of Universal Time in August. The sun is North at its zenith, which can be disorientating for Laurasians. Money The Australian dollar is US$0.91 and Euro 0.70 at the time of writing Traffic Trains, road traffic and pedestrians keep left. Boats keep right. Weather www.bom.gov.au/nsw/ Say 10-20°C in Sydney, 0-15° in Katoomba. Ocean at 15°. Electricity 240 V @ 50 Hz but the plugs are unlike US, Europe or UK. Adaptors sold at the airport, hardware and tourist shops. Transport in and around Sydney There is a trip planner at www.131500.com.au Airport to conference centre: train to central (ticket at the station) and tram (ticket on board) from there to convention centre. Katoomba Trains leave Central to Katoomba appox every 30 mins on week days, every hour on Sunday. The trip normally takes 2 hours. However, there is work on the tracks on Saturday and Sunday 28-29 August, so a bus service replaces part of the train service and it will take longer. ISMA will run a bus from Central to Katoomba at 9:15 am on Sunday 29 August. Tram (aka light rail) goes from basement of Convention Centre to Central Station. Approx every 10 minutes Ferries A service runs from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay (main ferry terminal) approx every 30 minutes www.sydneyferries.info Monorail Runs a circuit including Convention Centre and City Centre approx every 5 minutes The ICA site has a list of possible ways (http://www.scec.com.au/location/directions.cfm) to get to the Convention Centre, including driving, which we don't recommend.

Australian Sport: To say that sport is a way of life in Australia is an enormous understatement! Such is the Australian population's devotion towards sport that it is sometimes humorously described as "Australia's national religion". The Aussie’s truly enjoy a very rich sporting history & culture. Australian athletes have excelled in a range of sports globally, and their government supported system has a lot to do with this success. The Australian government spends the most money in the world per capita on elite athlete development and fittingly the Aussie’s have led the three of the last four Summer Olympic Games in medals per capita. The Australian population also enjoys fabulous recreational facilities & programs for the non-elite as a part of the

Inspiring Speech (57Kb Pdf File)
Full Day Hansard Transcript (Legislative Assembly, 27 February 1992, Corrected Copy) Printing Tips | Print selected text LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 27th February, 1992 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK (EXTENSION) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Dr METHERELL (Davidson) [9.0]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The eyes of history are upon this House. It is time for a new vision that embraces both environmental protection and opportunities for sustainable development for the future. This is a particularly historic opportunity for this House to complete a task that the first Australian settlers commenced more than 200 years ago when they set aside Sydney's foreshores. Recently, areas such as Kuring-Gai Chase were set aside. We have an opportunity to recognise that dream in the minds of our ancestors and to complete it by linking the Hawkesbury River in the north with Sydney Harbour in the south to form a network of national parks for future generations. I refer to our history because, no matter what our position is in the spectrum of views on environmental protection, all of us acknowledge the magnificent legacy of areas such as the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park and the Royal National Park. They and so many of the other national parks around this State and nation were left to this generation and for future generations by people who had the vision to set aside lands of natural grandeur and lands that protected our endangered flora and fauna.

Thank you from the President Thank you for entering one of our Sydney Royal Competitions. Once again, I am delighted to see the remarkably high standard of entries they attract. We first judged livestock, produce, cotton and silk in the 1820s with the aim of ‘exciting in proprietors an ambition to excel above others’. This initial aim forged the charter of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. Your participation in this competition continues the tradition and wholeheartedly supports our charter. Sydney Royal Competitions highlight excellence and the passion of so many talented producers and exhibitors not only from New South Wales, but from right across the country. Winning a prestigious Sydney Royal award is a reward for hard work and dedication, and brings numerous commercial opportunities as well. Major award winners have the benefit of Sydney Royal medal artwork to promote their success to collectors, customers and consumers. The increased interest can help our rural communities to remain strong and vibrant. We review our Competitions every year, to ensure they remain relevant to industry standards and trends, and we always welcome feedback. Encouraging a dialogue with producers and exhibitors in another way in which we can retain our strong links with agricultural industries and communities. Thank you to all of our judges for their expertise and the time they dedicate to recognising the best and providing valuable feedback to entrants.
