Hello archiparlour
These talks sound wonderful – but I don’t live in Sydney!
Will you be podcasting by any chance??
Would be wonderful to be able to listen from far away.

Hello,
The AAA, who is running the event, tell me that they haven’t organized to podcast the talks. However, the talks will be recorded and uploaded to e-classroom: http://www.eclassroom.com.au/courses/design.cfm, which already features several of their previous architectural talks.
Many of these also count toward continuing professional development (CPD).
The AAA website has an overview of the organisation and program of events. http://www.architecture.org.au
