  • Don Your Activewear and Walk Your Way Through History in Nsw
    Thursday 4 August, 2016 DON YOUR ACTIVEWEAR AND WALK YOUR WAY THROUGH HISTORY IN NSW From tracing the ancient songlines of Indigenous Australians to following in the footsteps of the first convicts sent to our shores, the cooler months of Winter are the perfect time to don your activewear and get walking in NSW. Internationally recognised for its beauty and cultural importance, NSW offers a multitude of walking experiences which showcase the fascinating history and natural beauty of the State. Recent statistics have revealed that the popularity of bushwalking continues to rise, with 7 million visitors travelling to NSW to bushwalk in the year ending March 2016, a growth of 19% on the previous year. With increases recorded in both visitors and visitor nights, NSW continues to attract travellers seeking nature-based tourism experiences. Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said Regional NSW offers Australia’s most diverse range of bushwalking experiences, with Winter proving the most popular period for domestic daytrip visitors. “As Australia’s most geographically diverse State, NSW is the ideal destination for a walking holiday incorporating UNESCO World Heritage-listed wilderness, Australia’s highest peak or almost 5 million hectares of National Parks and nature reserves,” Ms Chipchase said. Experience a piece of NSW’s history with a walking holiday in Regional NSW, with a few suggestions of fantastic Winter walks in NSW.

  • General Comments
    PLACES TO GO IN THE BEGA VALLEY SHIRE Amended October 2017. The following suggestions are a drawn from our out of print 2008 book of Places to Go and Birds to see. Updates have been made to reflect changes over time, whilst some places are no longer included. The Bega Valley Shire is vast and varied. The eastern boundary covers 106 km of coastline, the longest of any council in New South Wales, with much of it easily accessible, while the western boundary is the Great Dividing Range. The northern boundary is just north of Bermagui and the southern boundary follows the border with Victoria. Total area is 6,280 sq km and over 70% is either National Park or State Forest. This is a rural area with unsealed roads the norm. In some parts of the text the use of 4WD is advised. It is recommended that our suggestions are used in conjunction with a GPS or a district map. For more challenging 'adventures' detailed maps are available from Visitor Information Centres. At times you might meet livestock on the roads. Horse riders will appreciate cars slowing down. Cattle, sheep and goats often graze close to road edges, with or without supervision, and sounding the horn or forcing a passage through a herd is bad etiquette as well as resulting in possible damage to your car. Proceed slowly. Kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and echidnas are road users too. Please take care. For those not familiar with the area please note that mosquitoes, ticks and snakes may be present. Some of the walks are maintained by service clubs and community groups and the condition of each could vary depending on what funds and manpower are available.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Budawangia Gnidioides (Budawangs Cliff-Heath)
    This conservation advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on 3 July 2008 Approved conservation advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Budawangia gnidioides (Budawangs Cliff-heath) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Budawangia gnidioides, Family Epacridaceae / Ericacaeae, also known as Budawangs Cliff- heath, is a small rhizomatous creeping shrub with stiff sharp-pointed leaves. The hairy stems grow to about 50 cm long, usually spreading through cracks in rock-faces or along sandy ledges below cliffs. The plant flowers from September to February, with shortly tubular white flowers 4–5 mm long produced among the leaves towards the ends of the stems (Powell, 1992; Telford, 1992). Conservation Status Budawangs Cliff-heath is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth), as ‘Budawongia gnidioides’. The species is also listed as vulnerable on Schedule 2 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Budawangs Cliff-heath occurs only in the northern Budawangs Range and associated sandstone plateau escarpments in south-eastern NSW, west of Ulladulla, over a range of less than 100 km (Briggs & Leigh, 1996). The range of Budawangs Cliff-heath occurs mostly within Morton National Park (Powell, 1992; Telford, 1992).
