Redfern-Waterloo Tour of Beauty

We’d just like to announce that we have a late-notice Redfern-Waterloo Tour of Beauty happening this Saturday afternoon (February 9th, 2008).

Most of the tour bus has been pre-booked by a group, but we do have some limited places available…Many of you who expressed interest in tours, but have never been able to make it along… now is the time!

The tour runs from 1pm, to about 5pm, and we will start from the CarriageWorks Forecourt (down the stairs on Wilson Street)- see here: http://www.carriageworks.com.au/here/here.

This particular Saturday is not your average tour. It’s been shaped by architect Jack Barton, who is usually a speaker on the Tour of Beauty.

Jack has a special interest in the urban planning issues surrounding the “bottom end” of Waterloo as it pokes into Green Square (a controversial re-development hotspot if ever there was one).

Jack is bringing his architecture masters students along, so there will be discussion about sustainable and creative design solutions in this part of Sydney, as well as our usual chats about the Redfern Waterloo Authority, Public Housing, indigenous land issues, gentrification and art.

Email us on info@squatspace.com to book a place on the bus (strictly limited) or show up at Carriageworks by1pm with your bicycle. Bring a camera, a snack and your curiosity and questions…
