The reception will be held immediately following the conference sessions, at the Forum Restaurant which adjoins our conference venue. The cost of the reception is included in your registration fee.
Conference Dinner
Tuesday 13 February 7pm
Our dinner will be held at the Sugaroom a restaurant serving innovative, modern Australian cuisine.
The Sugaroom is located on the (former) CSR refinery site, 2/1 Harris Street, Pyrmont, at the industrial end of Sydney harbour and a fairly short walk around from the Casino.
Transport:
Light Rail runs every 10-15 minutes from Central Railway and Chinatown. Get off at Pyrmont Bay (the stop after Star City Casino), at street level go onto Harris Street, turn left and walk down towards the water. The restaurant is located at the front of the last building, facing the water.
Taxi - a short and very direct trip from the University
Menu
For reviews and sample menus see the Sugaroom website. Our menu will not be finalised until just prior to the conference, but you will have a choice of 3 dishes for each of the 3 courses. For both entree and main courses there will be a choice of one seafood dish, one vegetarian dish and one meat/poultry dish.
To attend, you need to indicate on your Registration form, and submit it by 1st February. The cost is $60 ($40 for retired or full-time students) paid in advance. A limited quantity of wine will be provided, but you can pay on the night for any additional drinks.
Chinatown/The Rocks & Sydney pubs/ Sydney Harbour
Wednesday 14 February 7pm
This is an informal get-together with a little sightseeing for those who are still in town. We will meet at 7pm for a light (and inexpensive) dinner at Emperor's Garden BBQ and Noodles, 213/5 Thomas Street Haymarket, then catch a bus down to Circular Quay, and find a congenial spot at the Rocks and/or take a ferry trip to see the harbour by night.
To Attend, please indicate this on Tuesday 13th , so we can book the table for dinner. Otherwise this is an informal night - come for as long as you wish. You will need to pay your own costs.
Dietary Requirements
There will be vegetarian options for all functions and meals. If you have any other dietary requirements, could you please advise Diane Hutchinson as soon as possible (d.hutchinson@econ.usyd.edu.au).
