Australia Garden History Society Annual National Conference | Hobart | 11-13 November 2022
Tasmania is often described as being at the edge of the world due to its location on the southern tip of the Australian continent, with vast oceans to the east, south and west. Despite its remoteness, Tasmania was one of the first areas in Australia colonised by Europeans; it has a long landscape and garden history.
As a remote penal colony, Tasmania was viewed during the 18th and 19th centuries as being at the edge of the civilised world and society for both convicts and settlers. Tasmania also marks the edge of Aboriginal occupation and cultural landscapes.
Cut off from the mainland some 12,000 years ago, Tasmania has a landscape that in parts is distinctly different from the rest of Australia. Like the mainland, it is now on the edge of increasing and unpredictable weather patterns: sometimes drier, sometimes hotter and sometimes wetter. Its natural and gardened landscape is on the edge of this unpredictability.
The conference theme will allow speakers to canvas:
- the geology of Tasmania and its impact on our natural landscape
- the landscape of Aboriginal Tasmania
- the colonial landscape and how being on the edge of society shaped the people who created our gardens and built landscape
- how climate change is impacting on this landscape and what changes it may bring in the future

Unrealised Sydney | exhibition at the Museum of Sydney | 6 August to 13 November
Guest curated by Australia ICOMOS member Robert Freestone, Professor of Planning at UNSW, Unrealised Sydney explores the genesis of, and community responses to, bold and sometimes misguided design proposals by governments and the private sector for redeveloping some strategic sites in and around the CBD in the second half of the 20th century. Though never realised, these schemes – shown through a range of plans, designs, models, sketches and documentary footage – form a rich part of the story that is Sydney.
Accompanying the exhibition is Realise, an interactive experience developed in collaboration with media producers Junior Major. Visitors modify precincts in Tallawoladah/The Rocks, considering factors such as environmental sustainability, liveability and productivity – then see them brought to life.
Free public talk: Unrealised Sydney: More and before
Museum of Sydney, Architecture & Design series
Wednesday 14 September 2022, 6pm–7.30pm
In this public talk, Professor Freestone will discuss some unbuilt Sydney projects not covered in the exhibition as well as delve back in time to examine schemes for ‘the Sydney that might have been’ that predate World War II. Guests can enjoy exclusive after-hours access to view the Unrealised Sydney exhibition prior to the lecture from 6pm. The talk will run from 6.30pm–7.30pm.
The event is free but registration is essential. Book through: https://my.sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/unrealisedsydneytalk

Heritage HIIT 03: Conservation in action – Traditional materials and Trades Thursday 8 September
In this third of our Heritage HIIT Sessions, we will examine the stuff of conservation – traditional materials and trades. We will explore a number of exemplar projects highlighting particular materials used and processes engaged to achieve the required conservation outcome. Our expert presenters, Jude Doyle, Jason Pruszinski and Eric Lovell, David Bridgman and Jean Rice will breakdown the essentials of research and analysis. How to identify a structure’s style and period, correct photographic and other documentation processes, when to revers unsympathetic elements, and ways to define the threshold for deferring to a heritage or other specialist expert are all explored through a set of fascinating and significant project examples.
Heritage HIIT 04: Showcasing Heritage – Design Case Studies Thursday 15 September
We look at a series of in-progress and recently completed case studies from across Australia to demonstrate how real-world refurbishment and adaptive reuse projects for places of heritage significance have addressed issues of climate change, sustainability, equity of access, fire code compliance and seismic considerations. It will also explore key policy and design principles for approaching new development in heritage conservation areas.
Speakers: Alice Hampson, Melissa Hughes, George Phillips, Mat Hinds, David Brown, Dimmity Walker
