Cultural Heritage project is gaining serious momentum as some of the regions

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2c2820; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The latest phase of the
project will see development of physical and digital material to engage
visitors in our unique stories and push them to other parts of the shire and to
stay longer. In particular the story of Old Tom and The Killers Of Eden will be
featured as the backdrop to our incredible whaling and pioneering history. Other
stories include the Geo-features of the area and the current and historic
contributions of our unique marine environment. The heritage strategy directly
tackles our over-reliance on short peak-season beach recreation and
strengthen's our position in a high yield, low volume - all-season market
utilising our rich heritage assets. According to Tourism Australia research,
domestic visitors looking for unique heritage experiences will be the only
growth area in domestic tourism to 2020.</span></div>

Here a is a document that my colleague Anthony Osborne
picked up at the recent National Landscapes Gathering in Western Australia a week
or so ago. The projects are based in Norway and while a national project demonstrate
thinking outside the box , the role of good design and the relationship of
landscape in building the experience. Enjoy.</div>

each town and village.</div>

Over the last few months I have been asked by many people
what this particular part of the project is about and simply put - imagine it

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Imagine you visit a“place” either made by humans or by nature. You can appreciate it for itself and your
appreciation is based on your own knowledge. Your own knowledge is gained for example through
experience, education, training, level of initiation, level of imagination or belief. Every individual has their own lens
through which they see things and the depth of seeing or understanding determines their interpretation reflected in the stories they tell about it.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Your stories are what informs us about what you are seeing or have seen.</span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Now imagine that you
are visiting a place with someone else who has a different way of seeing. They
know the landscape with a completely different set of “knowings” and as a
result guide and enrich your knowledge and experience by the stories they tell.
It could be a geologist, an experienced bush walker, an artist, a marine
biologist, a conservations or a developer, dreamer, magician or a con man.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">The material we have
researched and developed in this part of the project can be seen as different
layers of knowledge or ways of seeing aspects of the Sapphire Coast as part of
Australia’s Coastal Wilderness. That is the layers of stories that weave their way
through and underpin the landscape of our key heritage stories - The Meeting of the Waters, In the Shadow of
the Mountains, The Killers of Eden, The Bundian Way and Naturally Inspired </span><o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the first SCT Board
meeting for 2012 this week the importance of Local Festivals and Events
throughout the Shire was discussed including: The Bermagui Seaside Fair, The Cobargo Folk Festival, Sculpture on the Edge, Four Winds
Music Festival, the Merimbula Jazz
Festival, Candelo Village Festival,
The Eden Whale Festival were mentioned as well as a number of sporting/ extreme
events including the George Bass Surfboat Marathon, The Merimbula Classic, The
Tathra Wharf to Waves Swim as well as discussion of a number of other
potential significant events. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was recognized that
all these festivals and events already attract visitors as participants and audiences, most of them are run by dedicated volunteers and nearly all of the
festivals and events have the potential for growth. If you are involved with the organization of a festival or
event in the region here are ten questions we would like your input on:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A number of people have asked <i><b>“how much work is involved with
a reference group?”</b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you put your hand up for one of our reference groups we
do not expect you to attend meetings - lets face it we are all busy and the
shire covers a large area. What we
want is your time with input to the particular area of interest - not travelling to and attending meetings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>We have to be clever how we use our time and we can do this through the internet.</b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As with the Cultural Heritage Working Group, the reference groups members will be people
who are already engaged with the regions heritage, that is its History,
Geology, Marine, Indigenous and the Arts. It is your existing level engagement
with this heritage that we would like to tap into for information, insight and
ideas</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We expect that you will respond to emails and those responses
can be as extensive, thoughtful or as simple and brief as you want to make them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are not starting from scratch. You will see that the Cultural Heritage
Working Group through last years Heritage Strategy has already identified that
there is rich tapestry of stories in the region. The next phase is to shape
these into information packages for the experience seeker, the informed
traveller - our guests who are
coming to the region.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505815898839220531.post-42905663926098033672011-12-28T11:00:00.000-08:002011-12-28T11:38:40.682-08:00Success for Merimbula-Imlay Historical Society<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">After completing a challenging year long program assessing their practice against The National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries, the hard working volunteer group of the MERIMBULA OLD SCHOOL MUSEUM have been rewarded a certificate that will see the Museum published in the state-wide publication of all the Museums. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The Old School Museum is an outstanding heritage asset and based on the advice and feedback of the Standards Program, the volunteer run museum is now developing a plan to work with school groups to raise awareness and bring history to the community.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Olwen Morris, a member of the Merimbula Old School management committee explained that the whole project has been well worth the effort and has provided strong impetus for volunteers to work towards the image of the Old School Museum making it a showpiece for our local community.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The Merimbula Old School Museum is located in a beautifully restored heritage listed stone building dating from 1873.

</span>The group felt that it was important to maintain
the Cultural Heritage Working Group as the “in region” Key Reference group for
the Project. They acknowledge the importance of engaging people outside the
region with specific areas of knowledge and interest and therefore endorsed the
establishment of an “out of Region” reference group and to invite people from
Bombala and Eurobodalla, the adjoining shires to participate as well as other
individuals with a specific interest in tourism and cultural heritage at a
state and national level.</div>
