Author Contracts

After much community consultation, our author briefs are ready to be assigned to contracted writers. We are now in the process of contracting the authors for each of our identified stories and aim to have them assigned to the identified stories within the next two weeks.

Below is a reference to each of the identified stories:

The information will be pitched to align with the expectations of an educated, environmentally aware target market, matching the profile of the Brand Australia ‘experience seeker‘

This project will produce succinct (5000 word maximum), high quality and authentic information packages suitable for ready adaption for unlimited usage across signage, printed material, international/national media releases and downloadable packages on the Australia‘s Coastal Wilderness and Sapphire Coast Tourism websites.

The project is lumped into 5 themes, each of which will addressed by an author under the oversight of a community reference group convened by the Heritage Committee:

Marine Heritage

Cetaceans of the Coastal Wilderness.

Marine Richness – mixing the currents

Historic Heritage

Old Tom and the History of Whaling

Life in the 19^th Century

Geoheritage

The Geology and Landscapes of the Three Mountains

Gondwana Splits – the Geomorphology of the south east coast

Indigenous Heritage

Bundian Way – the ancient highway

Balawan, Mumbula and Gulaga, the Sacred Mountains

Cultural Heritage

Nature, Inspiration and Art

Music and the Coastal Wilderness

The authors will undertake research based on the available literature and, where relevant, through consultation with experts and the community holders of information related to the iconic stories in the Heritage Strategy.
