Two Workshops on Memory, Mind, and Media will be held in Sydney on Nov 29-30 and Dec 2-3.

1. Accommodation in Potts Point/ Kings Cross/ East Sydney/ City area

2. Accommodation on or near Macquarie Uni campus

The two workshops are in different places.
Workshop #1, Monday/ Tuesday 29/30 November, is at Tusculum Mansion, 3 Manning St, Potts Point, Sydney.
    This is a brilliant old building in a great wild part of town, Kings Cross/ Potts Point (East Sydney).
Workshop #2, Thursday/ Friday 2/3 December is in the Union (or 'SAM') Building, at Macquarie University
     which is out in the NW suburbs.

Below I list accommodation options in the City/ Potts Point, and then near Macquarie campus.
For more specific advice, or if you have strong preferences for areas (what matters most - beaches, cafes, good
    food, harbour views, ferry access, nightlife ...), email me and I can help steer more.

Visitors from out of town who are coming to both workshops and are also keen to see the city might either stay
    in the city/ eastern suburbs all week, and use the manageable if imperfect public transport system to get to
    Macquarie, or switch to a place near campus for the days of the 2nd workshop.
    (You can get to Macquarie by regular bus from Epping Station: for trains see http://www.cityrail.info/)
