Nature-based tourism boost on far south coast
From the Spring 2006 edition of Bush Telegraph Magazine.
Major improvements in the interpretive signs that guidetourists to and around sites of interest on the far south coast are one aspect of a new nature-based tourism project.
Visitors to the far south coast of New South Wales will be able to better enjoy the region with the completion of a nature tourism project.
The project was completed using a federal Department of Transport and Regional Services grant of $130,000 under its Regional Partnerships Program, and additional contributions from Eurobodalla Coast Tourism, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Forests NSW, Sapphire Coast Tourism and Bombala Council.
The project included a new series of maps and information brochures focused on regional nature-based attractions, as well as major improvements in the interpretive signs that guide tourists to and around sites of interest.
“The main theme of the project was to identify nature-related tourism experiences within the areas covered by Eurobodalla Coast Tourism and Sapphire Coast Tourism and parts of Bombala Council, including all national parks and State forests within this area of focus,” said Forests NSW Eden operations forester, Dean Payne.
The project encompasses a range of natural attractions, bushwalks, lookouts, historic sites, outstanding flora and fauna and cultural experiences which are unique to the far south coast and adjoining southern tablelands areas.
