Season's Greetings
From: Ultimo Society <ultimo@gangart.com> Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 9:00:26 +1100 Subject: Season's Greetings Dear Member Another year is almost gone, a year of adjusting my life to Parkinson's Disease, and spending all of the remaining time in the two 'jobs' I'm passionate about: on the board of directors of the World Federation of Austrians Abroad www.gangart.com/weltbund and protecting New South Wales' free beaches as the Convenor of Free Beach Action NSW www.gangart.com/freebeach Although I'm still disappointed that Ultimo did not get a Sauna Centre as per the original plans of my fellow countryman, the late Harry Seidler, but a YMCA style Fitness Centre instead, there's not much we can do about it now. Some of the residents are happy with the pool/gym and I guess one cannot please the entire community. Other than this, there is no big news to report from our precinct. The Ultimo Society has been quiet, so has the Ultimo Village Voice, but the Ultimo BLOG is alive and well, ready for posts from our members www.gangart.com/ultimo - and even the CityRAGs' archives are still open www.gangart.com/cityrags If I haven't already personally extended my Season's Greetings at the recent Lord Mayor's Christmas Reception in our Town Hall, I wish you safe Xmas holidays and a Happy New Year!

Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre
From: Ultimo Society <ultimo@gangart.com> Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:15:42 +1000 Subject: Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Dear Member Recently I had the opportunity to inspect the soon to be opened Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre, and also spoke with Claire Barkle, its Sales & Marketing Coordinator. I must admit, from an architect's perspective the design by the late Harry Seidler is surely stunning and an instant Ultimo landmark. However, it is quite unfortunate that on the inside the ITAC has not become what a good part of the community wanted it to be. Instead of a European style bath house and sauna centre (focus: relaxation and fun) we've now got a YMCA managed American style fitness centre (focus: lap swimming and gym classes), where a steam room and a small sauna cabin (one only!) are minor features. Well, I guess one cannot get it right for everybody, but since the ITAC presented a perfect opportunity and was a rather costly exercise, Sydney's residents and visitors alike will now have to wait a long time for a dedicated Scandinavian sauna complex. Community consultation is just a catch cry... Regards Gerald Ganglbauer The Ultimo Society http://www.gangart.com/ultimo Mobile: 0411 156 309 From: Jill Yates <jill_yates@hotmail.com> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 10:16:22 +1000 Subject: RE: Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Thanks - it certainly look stunning from the outside. I expect they have gone with the accountant's perspective on activities and it is a pity that the opportunity to have something different has been lost. Jill Yates Legal Life Planning Level 57, MLC Centre 19 Martin Place Sydney 2000 Ph: 9238 2080 Em: jill@legallifeplanning.com.au From: Marcelle Hoff <mhoff@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 10:39:50 +1000 Subject: Re: Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Gerald, I'm really sorry to hear that you are so dissatisfied with the ITAC. I think the community is most fortunate to have such a centre. I must admit that some of the petulant complaints I've heard lately make me question the wisdom of my actions back in 2004 when I put in a great deal of time and energy working to help the community retain the first-class facilities. One consolation....... There are certainly numbers of people in the area who appreciate what we have at Ultimo. Entry fees aside, I am delighted with the ITAC. Marcelle From: David Green <ultimobo@hotmail.com> Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2007 12:30:24 +1000 Subject: RE: Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Hi Gerald - although I have also greatly enjoyed European-style bath house and sauna complexes, interesting to me here is that your email below is the first mention I have heard of such. Unfortunate as I would probably have supported the concept had I heard mention of it before ... Regards, David Green Ultimo resident/owner since 1991 chair of Eaton Court strata committee From: Frank Wells <fwels@ihug.com.au> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 20:52:02 +1000 Subject: RE: Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Thanks, Gerald. I never expected much more than an iconic pool. Actually I never expected the promised thing to ever get approved, much less actually built. So I guess we're ahead already. Meanwhile, do you know where there's a European style bath house and sauna centre/Scandinavian sauna complex in Sydney? If so, please advise. Thanks. Frank Wells fwels@ihug.com.au From: Leonie and Chris Roo <roo69_73@yahoo.com.au> Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 21:28:39 -0700 (PDT) To: Councillor Chris Harris <chris@chrisharris.org.au> Subject: Support for a real (nude) Sauna at Ian Thorpe Dear Chris: This is Leonie and Chris (Kensington), originally from Germany and living in Sydney now for 7 years. Gerald has indicated that he is pushing for a real, nude Sauna at Ian Thorpe. We used to be regulars in saunas and thermal baths in Germany, where every medium size town has a sauna park, often owned by the local council. Non-nude saunas do not exist in Germany and the simple reason why we have not been to a sauna in Sydney is that it is non-hygenic and entirely uncomfortable to sit there with a swimming cozzy. Needless to say that German saunas are NOT gender segregated (after all, we want to go as a couple and with our mixed gender friends). A typical sauna park in Germany would include a few different temperature saunas plus a medium size plunge pool plus some resting areas (all nude). If required, we can give you references to a wide range of communal and government owned German saunas (these references will be in German). It is beyond our comprehension why no nude saunas can be found in all of Sydney. If there will be just another textile sauna at Ian Thorpe - we won't go. Gerald's initiative has our full support. In Germany and other northern European countries this is one of the most common things and we are 100% certain that the northern European Community in Sydney would come in great numbers to use this facility. Many thanks Cheers Chris and Leonie (Kensington NSW)

Ultimo and Pyrmont Buses Needed
CLOVER'S eNEWS - Friday 16 February 2007 - No. 334 I've asked the Minister for Transport to meet with me and Ultimo and Pyrmont residents to push for improved public transport to meet the area's growing needs. Residents tell me that bus services have reduced over the past 20 years, despite the increased population. Government urban consolidation policies mean the population of the peninsula has dramatically increased since 1996. The population rose to almost 12,000 people in the five years to 2001, an increase of 48 per cent. It is estimated to increase by a further 51 per cent by 2010. Only 20 per cent of working residents in Pyrmont and Ultimo drive to work, compared with the Sydney average of 50 per cent. Local residents walk or cycle, or rely on public transport. I have asked the Minister to reinstate the former levels of service on the 501 bus route, following cuts to this service in September 2006. Residents rely on the 501 route bus as the only service that links them to other areas, particularly on weekends. Ultimo and Pyrmont residents have asked that local bus services be improved by: Rerouting the 441 or 442 bus service to travel via Pyrmont; rerouting the 443 bus service via Sussex and Druitt Streets to provide access to the Central Business District and Town Hall station; reinstating the former weekend timetable for the 501 bus service; increasing the 449 bus to a thirty minute service from 8.00am to 8.00pm weekdays to provide improved links to Glebe and Parramatta Road; and reintroducing the 459 bus service along Pyrmont Bridge Road to provide direct access to inner-west schools and the Fish Markets. Residents tell me that the Government promised new bus services to replace those redirected from Pyrmont during construction of the ANZAC Bridge. However, there has been no action to redirect the 443 route bus along Druitt Street via the Western Distributor instead of King Street, despite the Minister telling residents that the Government was considering this in 2005. Action you can take My petition calling for improved bus services for Ultimo and Pyrmont is available from my Electorate Office and website, www.clovermoore.com.

Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year!
Subject: Season's Greetings Date: Monday, 11 December 2006 11:26 AM From: Gerald Ganglbauer <gerald@gangart.com> Dear Member The year 2006 seemed to have passed by quietly as far as Ultimo was concerned, but it certainly was an eventful year for myself. Not only did I complete yet another degree this year (Diploma of IT with Distinction) and was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at around the same time, the Annual General Meeting of the World Federation of Austrians Abroad www.weltbund.at voted me onto their Board of Directors. This means that instead of lobbying for a few thousand Ultimo residents, from 2007 to 2010 I will look after the interests of half a million expats worldwide and travel a lot overseas. As much as I would like to continue my work for the precinct with enthusiasm, and my support for the Free Beach Action group www.freebeach.info I cannot do it all anymore for obvious reasons. So this is a call for younger residents to become involved in shaping our neighbourhood and contribute to the community. I promise I will help as much as time constraints and health allow me to, but the Ultimo Society needs you! Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year!

On Dec 2nd we will be offering all Ultimo and Pyrmont residents a free Big Ticket to our museum which includes entry to all exhibitions and vessels. We will be doing a mail out in November as well as placing some posters in Community centres. Is there other ways of letting residents and community groups know about this event?

No News is Good News
From: Ultimo Society <ultimo@gangart.com> Date: Monday, 24 July 2006 12:22 PM Subject: No News is Good News Dear Member A quiet BLOG is good news for Ultimo as there seem to be no major issues in our precinct at the moment. The Ultimo Society's ongoing work for the community must have paid off. Although I will be overseas for some time, the BLOG remains open. However, local activists are invited to put up their hands as volunteers are needed to stand for office. We need to keep our precinct in good shape. Unfortunately my health does not allow me to do it all by myself anymore. Regards Gerald Ganglbauer The Ultimo Society http://www.gangart.com/ultimo Mobile: 0411 156 309

The Face of Sydney
The Face of Sydney is an innovative photography project funded by the City of Sydney. The photographers Karen Donnelly, Raimond Dewerrdt and Tony Nott take demographic data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and take photographs of 100 individuals from a select area to match the data. For example, if 4% of people in an area are girls aged between 5-12 then they will take four photos of 5-12 year aged girls. All the 100 images are then merged together to create the "face" of a particular area. The final images will be projected on Customs House as part of "Art and About" later in the year. The four areas that the photographers will be working in, and the locations for the photo shoots, are: Haymarket/Chinatown Thursday 27 April Ultimo Community Centre 40 William Henry Street, Ultimo Millers Point / The Rocks Friday 28 April Abraham Mott Hall Argyle Street, Millers Point Rosebery Saturday 29 April SEAHS Physio Clinic 3 Joynton Ave, Zetland Waterloo/Redfern Monday 1 May Redfern Customer Service Centre (Basement Area) Lawson Square, Redfern The photographers will be available between 8am-8pm on each day. Participants can turn up at anytime that suits them, there is no need to book. Anyone living in these areas can come and have their photograph taken to make up the "Face." All participants will get a free copy of their portrait as well as the chance to take part in making a piece of history!

Ultimo Neighbourhood Watch
From: Kristen Neilson <Neil1kri@police.nsw.gov.au> Date: Saturday, 28 January 2006 8:19 AM Subject: Re: Ultimo Armed Robbery Hi Gerald, Thanks for your comments. City Central Police are very aware of these incidents recently. Over the last 6 weeks we have had scarce resources due to our operational commitments elsewhere. However the next couple of weeks should see many of our police return to this command which will help increase patrols and specific operations targeting crimes like those mentioned. Please make sure all residents report any incident of crime in Ultimo, as this is where we can respond with our resources to intelligence based policing. Secondly, we do not recommend that any one leave valuables in sight, "if it can be seen, it can be stolen". It is very important not to store valuables in vehicles and to never leave vehicle unsecured. Do not give the thieves the opportunity to commit crimes. Hope this helps. Regards Kristen Neilson Senior Constable Crime Prevention Officer City Central LAC

“... I observed the words Ultimo Place at the bottom of the drawing. I was struck with the oddity of the name, and asked what that could mean, on which the Doctor (John Harris) with an air of the utmost importance, strutted up to me and said, I can explain that to you Madam. I was once summoned to attend a Court Martial, the gentleman in reading the charge happened to say this Court being convened on the 12th ultimo instead of instant; They were not classical but I Madam, being classical immediately perceived the mistake; I ridiculed them and wrote verses on the subject then and afterwards call’d my house Ultimo Place”.
