The event was appropriately held at 300 Elizabeth Street, across the road from Sydney Central Railway Station. On the same street, just two blocks back up the hill, closer to the bustling heart of Sydney City itself, was the building once called "Remington House". This establishment, owned by the Chartres brothers, was where in the 1930s US-made parts were assembled by Australian workers into "Australian Built" Remingtons - the closest we have ever come to having our own typewriter industry.
