    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

    Urban Parks, Urban Icons? the Case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney

    U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 505 Urban Parks, Urban Icons? The case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney Catherine Evans Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW [email protected] This paper explores the question of how urban parks function as urban icons. It examines Bicentennial Park in Homebush Bay, 12 km west of the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) as a case study. Bicentennial Park was planned and designed between 1983 and 1988, a time when Australia, and its cities in particular, grappled with tensions between celebrating achievements of two hundred years of European settlement and redressing the cultural and ecological harm wrought by those achievements. The research focuses on a review of material related to the design and promotion of the park, and early reviews of the park. The discussion explores the influence of specific ideas about the city and ecology on the transformations of use, materiality, and physical form of the land that became Bicentennial Park. Findings reveal that Bicentennial Park at Homebush Bay was conceived as an awkwardly scripted design, which in turn reflects a convergence of urban planning initiatives, intensifying environmental awareness and ideological tensions within the then nascent Australian- based profession of landscape architecture.

Australia’s largest exhibition and convention centre is underway at Darling Harbour while the major redevelopment of harbourside Barangaroo is already making an impact on the city’s skyline. THE TRANSFORMATION OF DARLING HARBOUR The NSW Government is partnering with Darling Harbour, Live and Lend Lease to deliver a 20-hectare, $3.4 billion transformation of Darling Harbour. The project includes Australia’s premier integrated convention, exhibition and events destination, the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), and includes expanded public space, a luxury hotel and a new city neighbourhood.

It will be at the heart of a waterfront precinct, with restaurants, shops and a vibrant public domain generating about $200 million each year in economic benefit for NSW; a total of $5 billion to the state over 25 years. The new ICC Sydney facilities will include: ■ Convention facilities that will be capable of holding three separate, self-sufficient, concurrent events as well as an 8,000-seat plenary. ■ Australia’s largest ballroom, located on the top floor, will feature spectacular water and city views. The dramatic venue will host 2,000 in banquet mode and more than 3,500 for cocktail functions TOP: TUMBALONG PARK AT DARLING HARBOUR.
