Welcome Reception ~ 5:30pm-7:30pm Included in Registration Fee

Magnificent views from the deck of the secluded Gold Room, L'Aqua, looking West across the busy waters of Darling Harbour.

 

Roof Terrace, Cockle Bay Wharf

Monday, April 6

The Darling Harbour Precinct is like a Village, with footbridges connecting the hotels, and our conference venues on Cockle Bay Wharf. You will feel very comfortable in this exciting part of Sydney Harbour.

Make up a party with friends and dine at one of the multitude of restaurants just below Dockside on Cockle Bay Wharf, along the walkway on King Street Wharf, or across the footbridge, at Darling Harbour.

The wonderful Aussie invention of BYO -
i.e. Bring Your Own (alcohol) means that you can take a good bottle of wine to dinner, and just pay a corkage fee. Check two things: that BYO is accepted at the restaurant - and that the corkage charge is reasonable!

Tuesday April 7

Conference Dinner ~ 5:30pm Pre-Dinner Drinks, followed by Dinner
The Star Room, Level 6 IMAX Theatre

This is a magnificent view - the Roof of our part of the world! A friendly and relaxed atmosphere, good food, good wine and good company - what more could we ask!!
