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.

Inquiry Into the Status, Health and Sustainability of Australia's Koala Population Response to Issues Raised in Submissions 35
Inquiry into the Status, health and sustainability of Australia’s koala population Response to issues raised in submissions 35, 73 & 78. “ . In the 1990’s Koala population estimates for the Eden region varied between 1500 (Jurskis and Potter 1997) and less than 100 (SEFCC 1998). A workshop initiated to resolve a range of issues existing between the forest conservation movement and FNSW concluded that Koala numbers in the Eden region were in the low hundreds (Briggs 1999). In that period there was no attempt to estimate Koala numbers in the Southern Tablelands or the Southern Highlands, though anecdotal information suggested Koala numbers were higher than on the Far South Coast.” (Submission 35, Page 12, 3.1) It could be inferred from the previous statement that the conservation movement and Forests NSW (at that time trading as State Forests of NSW), agreed in 1999 that there were hundreds of koalas. The next statement comes from a draft document provided by the DECCW, under the GIPA Act, and written by the previous author to assist the TSSC. “ . After assessing available evidence, Briggs (1999) estimated that koala numbers on the Far South Coast were between 100 and 1000 koalas, with numbers possibly being towards the lower end of this range . In rejecting a nomination to list the koala population in the study area as endangered the NSW Scientific Committee (2007) stated that satellite images indicate that, relative to the Koala's dispersal ability, suitable habitat for dispersal is largely continuous between the nominated population area and adjoining habitat, including forested land south to the Victorian border.

Visitor Guide NSW National Parks 2011 South Coast
Sydney Bournda National Park South Coast An amazing strip of national parks follows the southern coastline, inviting you to discover and uncover. Along the coast, spotted gums, hundreds of years old, stretch to the sky, providing food and habitat to endangered native species. For some, the appeal is the colourful bird life and cheeky native animals. For others, it’s the grandeur of the endless blue ocean – sometimes calm, sometimes boisterous – as the waves crash noisily over the golden sand. Whales, dolphins, penguins and seals ﬁ nd sanctuary here, while up in the sky you may spot a sea eagle gliding on the breeze. It warms the heart to know that this is how the South Coast will always be. Green Cape Lightstation at Ben Boyd National Park Photography: LEFT: A. Hutchings / DECCW, RIGHT: A.

Your great Australian journey starts here NSW SOUTH COAST AND CANBERRA Length: 5–7 days Fly/drive option: Sydney, Canberra This short tour has plenty of gleaming highlights, whether it’s the whitewash and history of Old Parliament House or the brilliant white sands of Jervis Bay. Begin by climbing out of Sydney through the fertile Southern Highlands to Canberra, spending a couple of days among the capital’s cultural treasures.

Nsw Popular for Walking Holidays
Media Release MEDIA RELEASE NSW POPULAR FOR WALKING HOLIDAYS More than 4.3 million domestic and international overnight visitors last year choose to hike in NSW as part of a holiday experience, up 5.2 per cent on the previous year*. Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said, “NSW is the perfect place for a hiking holiday. The state is home to some of Australia’s most popular walking trails, as well as many hidden gems including superb multi-day hikes and fantastic short and long day hikes along stunning coastal and inland trails.” Here are some of NSW’s great walks, as well as some hidden gems just waiting to be explored: New tours • The Seven Peaks Walk is one of the newest walks to join the list of Great Walks of Australia. This challenging hike on Lord Howe Island is for experienced hikers, with a few sections of the walk off-track and requiring a steady head for heights. • For a coastal trek, try the three-day Light to Light walk which hugs the coastline between Boyds Tower and Green Cape Lightstation in Ben Boyd National Park on the Sapphire Coast. If hiking in luxury is more your style, Light to Light Camps can carry your gear, set up camp each night and cook your dinner, all while you enjoy the walk at your leisure. Secluded and unspoilt • Explore the secluded beaches and spectacular cliffs while hiking the rugged coastline of the Kangarutha Walking Track in Bournda National Park near Tathra on the South Coast. Suitable for most ages, this moderately challenging hike is 9km each way.
