Opinion / Support Request from Cabarita Beach /Bogangar Residents' Association


Hi everyone.

I just received the message below from Suzi asking for our opinion on signage topic, plus help to gather pictures and text that would be displayed.

In my opinion I'd like one of the signs to be a map of the walking trails in the area to be on display in the Pandanus precinct. I'd also like some historical information on the village and surrounds.

Can you please respond with what topics you think would be interesting and if you are available to help design the signs?

Regards
Anthony

Dear Anthony

As you know our association has received funding to design, in conjunction with Tweed Shire Council and Cabarita Dune Care, 20 signs on the Caba beach area - particularly Cabarita Hill and the park there.  6 will be large (the same size as the current Rocky Shores one) and 14 will be small A5 size.

We are seeking input (and approval) for our ideas.

I've asked Patrick about this one
One of the large ones  we thought would be valuable would explain Coastal Processes - particularly Dunes and rips.

I am asking for your opinion on this, and, if you or someone from the club would like to collaborate with us on the information gathered for the sign.

What do you Anthony and the Trails group think?

The other large ones  would be 
1. Flora in the area (including pandanus, banksia, Nodding orchid, Calitris Pines)
2. Fauna in the area (inlcuding Glossie Black cocokatoos, Microbats, Reptiles, Bandicoots, Green se Turtles, Brahminy Kite)
3. Whales (placed on the cliff top after the new boardwalk is extended.)
4. The Littoral Rainforest sign would be reproduced and we would get 2 - one for main beach entrance and one for Cabarita Hill.

The small ones would identify specific Bush Tucker plants on the track to Goanna Track.

So Anthony and group - do these topics for signs seem a good idea to you?  
We have said in our application we would liaise with groups in Caba - however we feel very happy steaming ahead with Dune Care.

Is there anyone reliable & competent you can think of who would be good to liaise with to gather pictures and wording?  


Looking forward to hearing your response.

  1. Maybe some info in the signage about Aboriginal culture of the area and relationship to the flora and fauna too would be good..input from Aboriginal people from the Goodjingburra area or nearby?

  2. Hi Anthony

    Elaine and I are strongly in favour of the Whale Information sign at the top of the boardwalk. Elaine had a look at the NSW Environment and Heritage site and found some basic but appropriate information that we may well get permission to use.

    We also agree with your idea of a trails map.

    It would be good to have graphics on the signs where possible and appropriate.

    Are we involved in any historical elements with this project - some of the photos of Cabba many years ago from a similar location might be interesting, but possibly not what this project is about.

    Happy to help wherever our limited talents can be used!

    PS - do we need to take some action on the grant for the platform at Norries?
