Minutes of the Tourist Attraction Signposting Assessment Committee TASAC Minutes 20 January 2016 Minutes of the Tourist Attraction Signposting Assessment Committee Wednesday 20 January 2016 at the RMS Parramatta office Level 5, 27-31 Argyle Street Parramatta Members David Douglas Regional Coordinator TASAC and Drive, Destination NSW Phil Oliver Guidance and Delineation Manager, Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) Maria Zannetides TASAC Secretariat Also Present Cameron McIntyre TEO, RMS Sydney Region John Rozos RMS Sydney Region (part meeting) AGENDA ITEMS 1. DELEGATIONS / PRESENTATIONS & REGIONAL SIGNPOSTING ISSUES N / A 2. NEW TOURIST SIGNPOSTING APPLICATIONS 2.1 Paroo Darling National Park, near Wilcannia An application has been lodged to review the eligibility of Paroo Darling National Park for tourist signposting (TASAC found the park to be eligible for signposting in 2008) and allow some of the park’s signage to be updated and also to secure signposting for a new precinct known as Peery Lake Picnic Area within the Paroo Darling Overflow Section of the park. The park is in the north west corner of the State, north east of the Cobb Highway and north of the Barrier Highway. The nearest towns are Wilcannia and White Cliffs, both to the west of the park. The park conserves extensive semi-permanent freshwater wetlands associated with both the Paroo and Darling Rivers. The area is internationally significant for bird migration and recognised under the Ramsar Treaty for conserving wetlands of international importance. Additionally, Peery Lake is the only lake bed in the Southern Hemisphere where mound springs (natural outlets for artesian water) are located. Various Aboriginal artefacts and sites exist in the area and the lake has been recorded as a tourist attraction since the 1910s. The park, which is open daily during all hours, is made up of four former pastoral properties covering almost 200,000 ha and has the following four separate sections: i. The Paroo River Overflow section, 30 km east of White Cliffs and 80 km north of Wilcannia. This area is accessed from Wilcannia via Wilcannia – Wanaaring Road (SR5) or from White Cliffs via Mandalay to White Cliffs Road (SR6). The application indicates that these roads are managed by Central Darling Shire. The Peery Lake Picnic Area is in the Paroo River Overflow section and offers a gas BBQ, sheltered picnic tables, a composting toilet with disabled access, interpretive Final 3 February 2016 1 of 12 TASAC Minutes 20 January 2016 information panels and panoramic open views of the lake with its artesian mound springs, birds and other wildlife. The lake is ephemeral and when dry, visitors can walk across its bed to the mound springs. When wet, there is easy access by kayak to bird breeding areas and sand lunettes on the far side of the lake. ii. The Darling River Section is on either side of the Darling River 40 km north east of Wilcannia. It is accessed from the Wilcannia to Tilpa Road, the east side via MR68A and the west side from SR1. The Coach and Horses Campground is located within this section, on the south side of a bend in the Darling River. It offers a gas BBQ, sheltered picnic table, fishing, kayaking, 12 campsites, composting toilet with disabled access, interpretive information and fish cleaning tables. iii. The Coonavitra Section, located 110 km east of Wilcannia and accessed from the Barrier Highway. iv. The Tilpilly Section, located 130 km east of Wilcannia and accessed from Barrier Highway. Three images have been provided of large interpretive panels, one panel at Peery Lake and two panels at Coach and Horses Campground. The images are small and the text on the panels cannot be read but it is clear that the panels include maps, text and photos. The park also has its own visitor information centre in Keraro Road, White Cliffs, which is open on weekdays from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm (and on some weekends but it may be unstaffed). The centre provides interpretive information and a sheltered picnic table. The applicant has advised that the Coonavitra and Tilpilly Sections are “management areas” without public access and do not have toilet facilities. Accordingly, the two sections are not eligible for tourist signposting. Decision: Paroo Darling National Park (Paroo River Overflow and Darling River Sections only is eligible for tourist signposting in the National Parks, State Conservation Areas, State Forests and Major Water Storage Areas category. Action: Secretariat to inform the applicant and RMS Western Region as above. 2.2 Gundabooka National Park TASAC found Gundabooka National Park to be eligible for tourist signposting in November 2004 and a new application has been lodged to update its eligibility. Gundabooka National Park is in the semi-arid environment of north western NSW between the towns of Cobar, Bourke and Louth. Signage is sought on and from the Kidman Way (SH421) and NPWS would also appreciate design assistance for signage at other locations, presumably on Council roads. Gundabooka National Park and Gundabooka State Conservation Area are located adjacent to each other and the application refers to both areas as Gundabooka National Park. The park, which is open daily during all hours, contains Mount Gunderbooka, the Gunderbooka Range and the Darling River. It also contains the Mulgowan (Yappa) Aboriginal Art site. Accommodation is available at Yanda Campground (a river campsite) and Dry Tank Campground with views of Mount Gunderbooka. Booked accommodation is also available at Belah Shearers Quarters and Redbank Homestead. Final 3 February 2016 2 of 12 TASAC Minutes 20 January 2016 Gundabooka National Park can be accessed from the Kidman Way, taking Ben Lomond Road (RLR 6), from 50 km south of Bourke and 110 km north of Cobar. The Bourke-Louth Road (MR68S) approximately 50 km north east of Louth and 30 km south west of Bourke, provides access to the Darling River sections of the park. The third main access is via the Cobar-Louth Road along the Mulgaroon Road (RLR7) and merging to the Wilgaroon Road and turning into Ben Lomond Road (RLR6). Visitor facilities include: i. Yanda Campground: Ten campsites; interpretive information, gas BBQ, sheltered picnic tables; and disabled access toilet. ii. Dry Tank Campground: Fifteen unstructured campsites; interpretive information (image provided); picnic tables; and toilets. iii. Bennett’s Gorge Picnic Area and Valley of the Eagles Walk: Interpretive information (images provided); picnic tables; gas BBQ; entry point for Valley of the Eagles Walk; and toilets. iv. Mulgowan Yappa Aboriginal Art Site Walking Track: 1.4 km return medium graded walking track; interpretive information (image provided); sheltered picnic tables; and toilets with disabled access. v. Little Mountains Walking Track: Leaving from Dry Tank Campground, this walk takes visitors through the Mulga woodlands to Little Mountain lookout in the Gunderbooka Range. Interpretive information is available at the start of the walk and along the way. Interpretive information is also available at the park’s entry points at both ends of Ben Lomond Road (image provided). Decision: Gundabooka National Park is eligible for tourist signposting in the National Parks, State Conservation Areas, State Forests and Major Water Storage Areas category. Action: Secretariat to inform the applicant and RMS Western Region as above. 2.3 Conimbla National Park, near Cowra An application has been lodged to update Conimbla National Park’s eligibility for tourist signposting to allow existing unserviceable signage to be upgraded. The poor condition of the park’s signage was identified in an audit undertaken by Cowra Council during 2015 and the application has been submitted at TASAC’s request. Conimbla National Park, which is open daily during all hours, is 9 km west of Cowra along the Mid-Western Highway in the Central West Slopes of NSW. It can be accessed in the following three ways: i. From Cowra, travelling 9 km west on the Mid-Western Highway, then right onto Barryrennie Road for 17 km to the Wallaby picnic area. ii. From the town of Gooloogong, south via Kangarooby Road for 24 km then onto the Wallaby picnic area. Final 3 February 2016 3 of 12 TASAC Minutes 20 January 2016 iii. From Grenfell, travelling 46 km east on the Mid-Western Highway then left onto Barryrennie Road into the park and then onto the Wallaby Picnic Area. Established in 1980, the park covers 7,590 ha and provides conservation for rare species of orchids and grevilleas and has very attractive scenery, including a number of cliff lines, a small gorge and several waterfalls. The park has two sections, a north eastern section, which includes Barabigal Mountain and a south western section, which includes Yambira Mountain. It is understood that the south western section allows horse-riding and also has some vehicular access. NPWS has advised that all visitor facilities are located in the north eastern section of the park and there are no toilets in the south western section. On this basis the south western section is not eligible for tourist signposting. Conimbla National Park is regarded as one of the best walking and nature sites in the area. Its north eastern section provides opportunities for picnicking at Wallaby Picnic Area, two walking trails (the 4 km Ironbark Walking Track and the 4 km Wallaby Walking Track), hiking, nature study and tent based camping at four sites. Specifically, there is a picnic table, BBQ and two interpretive signs at the Ironbark Walking Track, which affords scenic views to Cowra and features dry woodlands, flowering heath in spring and opportunities for bird watching. At the Wallaby Walking Track there is a picnic table, wood BBQ and a composting toilet. The Wallaby track offers opportunities to view wildlife (e.g. wallabies, kangaroos, possums and gliders) along its length. An image has been provided of one of the two large information panels at Ironbark Walking Track.

  • Art, Culture and Ambiguity in Wilcannia New South Wales Lorraine Gibson
    Art, Culture and Ambiguity in Wilcannia New South Wales Lorraine Gibson Centre for Research on Social Inclusion, Macquarie University The claim of most town whites that Aboriginal people of Wilcannia make art but have no culture and the claim by Aboriginal people of the town that their art work and art designs demonstrate their culture and cultural traditions opens up the powerful and productive dimensions of art and culture for closer scrutiny. In so doing, the ambivalence and ambiguity which saturates these categories is ethnographically revealed. How can the presence and production of art-works in Wilcannia and the white denial of culture be considered? Why indeed do these questions matter, in what ways do they matter, and to whom do they matter? How do the categories of traditional/remote, urban/settled and their avatars intersect with black and white notions of Aboriginal art and Aboriginal culture discursively and experientially? In this paper, I demonstrate and articulate how the stereotypes of traditional/remote and urban/settled Aborigines resonate for Barkindji and non-Aboriginal people in and from Wilcannia, specifically as these relate to discourses of ‘art’ and ‘culture’. I seek to make explicit as well as problematise the ways in which lived culture bleeds into culture as a particular response; of how Barkindji people attune themselves to new demands in relation to local and wider public notions of culture and art and their associated terms. The problems that arise in the delineation of these categories are explored ethnographically, showing how any kind of discussion is inadequate to lived experience. I was working one day with a Barkindji1 artist and Wilcannia man outside Thankakali [your people my people] Aboriginal centre, a Community Development Employment Programme facility in Broken Hill.

  • ECHUCA-MOAMA BRIDGE CROSSING (NEW SOUTH WALES) Submissions Report April 2016
    ECHUCA-MOAMA BRIDGE CROSSING (NEW SOUTH WALES) Submissions report April 2016 BLANK PAGE Roads and Maritime Services ECHUCA-MOAMA BRIDGE CROSSING (NEW SOUTH WALES) Submissions report April 2016 Prepared by GHD Pty Ltd RMS 16.239 ISBN: 978-1-925507-37-9 BLANK PAGE Executive summary Overview of Echuca-Moama bridge crossing Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and VicRoads propose to build a second Murray River bridge crossing between Moama in New South Wales (NSW) and Echuca in Victoria (referred to as the ‘Echuca-Moama bridge crossing’). Echuca and Moama function as a single community and are linked by the existing heritage-listed bridge across the Murray River, the only accessible river crossing in the area. The bridge does not meet current road design standards. Traffic congestion occurs on the bridge. The bridge has restrictions on the height, weight and width of vehicles that can use it. These constraints affect freight transport, local business and tourism, with associated impacts on the region’s productivity and economy. A second bridge crossing is required to provide an alternative route across the Murray River. The Echuca-Moama bridge crossing is required to alleviate congestion on the existing bridge, improve security of access for the local community and provide access across the Murray River for higher mass limit and oversized vehicles. It has been developed in consultation with the local community and stakeholders. NSW proposal Roads and Maritime proposes to build the NSW component of the Echuca-Moama bridge crossing (referred to in this submissions report as ‘the NSW proposal’). The NSW proposal extends north- east from of the high water mark on the Victorian bank of the Murray River to about 320 metres north of the Cobb Highway/Perricoota Road intersection in Moama.

  • Aboriginal Australians Wilcannia Is Found Wanting
    Coolabah, No.5, 2011, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Politics, pain and pleasure: the art of art-making for ‘settled’ Aboriginal Australians Lorraine Gibson Copyright©2011 Lorraine Gibson. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: Since the emergence of the ‘acrylic art movement’ which came out of Papunya in the Western Desert of Australia in the 1970s, Aboriginal art and cultures have become intertwined in public discourse, through government policy, and in visual art worlds. It is arguably through their artworks that Australian Aboriginal people have become increasingly known both within Australia and overseas (Merlan 2001; cf. Fourmille 1994).i Indeed, in many ways, Aboriginal art has come to represent Aboriginal people and their culture (Myers 2002). But what kind of art is acceptably deemed Aboriginal in mainstream art worlds, by Australian Aboriginal people, and why? What does this mean personally, socially and economically for those Aboriginal artists who are located in the south-eastern parts of Australia which were first colonised? For the most part these people are deemed by the mainstream population to have ‘lost their culture’. More than this, they are spoken of by some other Aboriginal people from the more remote and later colonised parts of the continent in similar terms. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork with the Barkindji people of Wilcannia, a small country town in the south-east of Australia, this paper explores the role of art making and art talk and the ways in which these are implicated in the politics of culture, in cultural subjectivity, and in the consolidation and (re)creation of cultural identity.
