Conference location:

The UNSW Sydney Kensington campus is located only 3km from Coogee Beach hotels.
The Academic Conference and Deans Meeting will be held at the Law Building, University of New South Wales (Kensington Campus). A campus map is available at http://fmtoolbox.unsw.edu.au/comms/KensingtonCampus.pdf and the Law Building is at F8.

Pre-conference events:

Those arriving early are invited to a walking tour exploring Sydney’s indigenous, colonial and recent history, on Sunday, 9 February. This tour, which will be led by a number of UNSW academics, will start at the Law Building at 1:00pm and finish at Redfern at approximately 5:00pm.
This will be followed by a cruise and welcome dinner on beautiful Sydney Harbour. This will start from Circular Quay around 6:00pm.
Shuttle buses will be provided between hotels and these events.

Weather:

The average daytime temperature for Sydney in early February is 26°C (79°F), with overnight lows of 18°C (64°F). However, it could well be much warmer than this, with daytime temperatures at this time of year often around 30-35°C (85-95°F), and it is also likely to be humid, with the possibility of afternoon storms. UV radiation is also likely to be very high at this time of year, so please pack high SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses if you plan on spending any time outdoors.

Conference registrations:

You are welcome to book your accommodation at any time from now until early November. You will be asked to complete a separate conference registration later in the year, to confirm your details and needs such as dietary requirements.
