Nature-based tourism boost on far south coast

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.
