Within the labyrinthine corridors of Sasa Sestic’s coffee company Ona, in Canberra’s industrial enclave of Fyshwick, we reverentially take a seat in the main office. In comes someone carrying a tray containing glass jugs of deep brown brew. No words are spoken as Sasa puts his nose to the first jug and inhales deeply. “This”, he announces, “is Blue Copper–one of our experimental lots from Ethiopia.” We sip slowly and find ourselves swirling the suspension over our tastebuds. There are hints of red wine and dark chocolate. Our heavy pottery cups drain and it is time for the second brew—a washed Panama bean that is light with jasmine with a hint of green tea. Who knew coffee could be so complex? Sasa does. His good friend Mick Rose—also in the coffee trade—says Sasa is so deeply connected to coffee, so emotionally invested, so single- minded and obsessive, that one sip of an exceptional roast can bring him to tears. “Oh yeah, I have seen him cry when he drinks it,” says Mick. Sasa has also been known to travel for days to find a particular coffee bush—35 hours in planes, 10 hours of driving followed by several hours on horseback, through thick jungle.

  • Sustainable Tourism: World Trends and Challenges Ahead 11 Eugenio Yunis 4
    Ecotourism Book Series General Editor: David B. Weaver, Professor of Tourism Management, George Mason University, Virginia, USA. Ecotourism, or nature-based tourism that is managed to be learning-orientated as environ- mentally and socioculturally sustainable, has emerged in the past 20 years as one of the most important sectors within the global tourism industry. The purpose of this series is to provide diverse stakeholders (e.g. academics, graduate and senior undergraduate students, practitioners, protected area managers, government and non-governmental organizations) with state-of-the-art and scientifically sound strategic knowledge about all the facets of eco- tourism, including external environments that influence its development. Contributions adopt a holistic, critical and interdisciplinary approach that combines relevant theory and practice while placing case studies from specific destinations into an international context. The series supports the development and diffusion of financially viable ecotourism that fulfils the objective of environmental, socio-cultural and economic sustainability at both the local and global scale.

    Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd Joanna Freslov December 2004 AAV Project No. 2833 Post Wildfire Indigenous Heritage Survey Volume 2: Management of Impacts from Wildfire and Suppression Activities A Report to Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and Aboriginal Affairs Victoria i POST WILDFIRE INDIGENOUS HERITAGE SURVEY Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd PO Box 713 • Hurstbridge VIC 3099 Phone (03) 9718 1554 • Fax (03) 9718 1829 Cover plate: High intensity burn in the Mitta Mitta River valley, near Anglers Rest (view east) ii WILDFIRE IMPACTS AND MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary During the 2003 a large bushfire burnt over 1.2 million hectares of private and public land in the high country of northeast Victoria and Gippsland. The fire and suppression activities affected a range of values in the highlands including Aboriginal heritage values. The Public Land Ecological and Cultural Bushfire Recovery Program determined that the best way to address and enhance effective cultural heritage management was an increased understanding of the nature and extent of the impact of bushfires on Indigenous heritage values.1 The Public Land Ecological and Cultural Bushfire Recovery Program aimed to collect this information through a project which would investigate and assess the impact of the bushfire and fire suppression activities on Indigenous cultural heritage values on public land. This project also included an assessment of the impact of the bushfire on non-material heritage values including spiritual places and historic attachments. The project was to be managed jointly by Parks Victoria (PV) and the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE). Parks Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment therefore commissioned Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd to conduct a an archaeological survey for Aboriginal cultural heritage values within 12 study areas (later expanded to 14 areas) in the highlands and alpine regions of northeast Victoria and Gippsland (Figure 1).
