  • Implementation Strategies for a Heritage Trail That Would Link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia
    PROJECT # 31009 Implementation strategies for a heritage trail that would link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia The “Heritage of Endeavour” project. By Michael Hughes and Jim Macbeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we acknowledge the contribution of Lindley Chandler to this final report. Lindley undertook this project as part of her Masters degree and carried out all of the basic ground work and community consultation. Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lindley was unable to write the final report. Nonetheless, the report is based on her work in the Central Great Southern. Russell Pritchard, Regional Officer with the Great Southern Development Commission, provided invaluable advice and support in further developing and crystallising the ideas within this report. Many other Central Great Southern community members contributed information as detailed in the reference list at the end of the report. The authors also acknowledge the support of the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, an Australian Government initiative, in funding this project.
