1 Getting around Sydney and what to do while you are here (or so much jewellery and so little time) Getting to the Conference Sydney College of the Arts The Conference is being held at Sydney College of the Arts. SCA is located in the historic Callan Park precinct in Lilyfield. SCA is on Kirkbride Way accessible from Balmain Road. The vehicle entrance in to Callan Park is from Balmain Road (opposite Cecily Street). By Bus Buses to and from the City via Victoria Rd Bus numbers 500, 504, 506, 507, 510, 515, 518, and 520 leave from Circular Quay in the city, turn at the Queen Victoria Building (near Town Hall Station) and travel across the Anzac Bridge to Victoria Road and stop on Victoria Road, Rozelle. M52 goes along Victoria St from Circular Quay and Parramatta and all points in between. The 501 bus travels from Circular Quay but travels to Victoria Rd via Central Station. Get off the bus at Victoria Rd near Darling St. Turn left at Darling St and walk until you see SCA on the right. The campus is in a park so just follow along the road and you will find it. Travel time (including walking) minutes 1 / 15

2 How to use public transport in Sydney? The Conference venue, exhibitions and workshops are all accessible by public transport. The best way to do this is to buy an Opal Card. You can buy a card and put money on it once you arrive in Sydney or order an opal card online at The website gives you information about how the opal card works but broadly if you do more than eight trips everything after that is free during the week (Monday-Sunday) and on Sundays the maximum amount you will pay is $2.50 no matter how far you travel. If you want to find out how to get from one place to another by public transport go to In this guide we give some tips on how to find your way around but recommend that you use one of the real time transit apps you can download. For information go to Driving The map below shows parking on the campus OK, that's great but where exactly at SCA is the Conference? The conference will be held in the Auditorium. There will be signs around the campus pointing you in the right direction. 2 / 15

3 Make some new jewellery friends? Car Sharing We understand how tricky it can be to get around in an unknown city. So we're here to help! For any locals who can offer a ride to an exhibition opening, on any of the days of the conference, we'll be providing you with a sticker. Wear to show that you can offer a lift. Pick up your sticker at the registration desk. If you need a lift at the end of the day to any of the exhibitions, please let these generous people know. Get in quick - as once their car is full, the sticker disappears! Need something?
