University of New South Wales
School of Physics, Common Room (Rm 64)
The workshop will celebrate the achievements of the 22m Mopra Radio Telescope near Coonabarabran and look towards its future. Mopra is primarily used for spectral line measurements at millimetre-wave lengths, with three receivers covering the 18-28, 30-50 and 75-115 GHz bands. It is also used for VLBI as part of the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA). The workshop will discuss the science that has been conducted with Mopra, and the plans for its future.
There will also be a satellite meeting on the JCMT and the East Asia Observatory on the first day (December 9).
Overall Program:
Dec 9: JCMT Workshop: 2-4pm
Dec 10: Mopra Workshop Day 1. Sessions 10-12, 1-3, 3:30-5:30.

Airport:
UNSW Kensington campus is about a 7km drive from the domestic terminal at Sydney airport. A taxi from the airport will cost about $25. Alternatively, it is possible to take a train and bus to just outside Kensington campus in about 40 minutes for about $10.
Public transit:
Buses run to Anzac Parade at UNSW from the Central rail station, the CBD, the eastern beaches, western Sydney and southern Sydney. More details about buses and train including timetables and routes etc. are available on the Sydney buses website.
A quick summary of the relevant buses are:
Bus numbers to and from Central Station to UNSW: 393, 395, 891, 895
Bus number to and from the South and Western city: 370
Parking:
There is free street parking a short distance from the School of Physics (e.g. down Willis St, Willis Ln, Forsyth St, and Middle St) though the very closest street parks are only 1-2hr zones. There is plenty of parking available in UNSW e.g. in the parking building accessible off Barker st., at around $15/day. These "pay and display" parking areas are monitored and rules are strictly enforced.
