The Pictorial Story of the Hub Relocation

Pitt St, Sydney CBD to Petersham - January 1998

In January 1998 we were forced to relocate our regional hub network from a building in Pitt St in Sydney's central business district to a new site at Petersham in a room leased from the Ngalawi Housing Co-op. The series of pictures below, taken by Matthew Geier and others, document the whole operation from start (on a Saturday morning) to finish (the following week):
