Cabarita Beach to Hastings Point Bush & Beach Walk November 2008

In this post I share a video I took prior to moving over to the United States.

I used to watch this whenever I thought of home. It's about 10 minutes long.

The value I hope you get from watching is an appreciation of how beautiful and rare the space we have between Norries Headland and Hastings Point including the Caba heath is.

Hope you treasure this as much as I do.

Cudgen Lake Walk

On Saturday 28-7-12 Luke, Nick, Chris and I went for a walk down to the lake from the Camp Wollumbin Entrance, then across to Tamarind Ave.

Here is the map of the route we walked, bashed, slushed through.

Down by the Lake is spectacular and there are a number of other trails to explore in the area heading to the north from the lakeside and up near the gate to Camp Wollumbin.

I think there is also a trail that parallels the road but we walked alongside the road to get back to our cars.

Would have been better crossing over to the bike path.

Chris told us of some of the rich history from some of the original owners going back thousands of years. Something like 13 major sites in around the Kings Forrest side of the lake.

When we walked south from the lake it was under a canopy of trees that Koala's use. Didn't see any but there was we assume fresh K-poo on the ground.

That is the sensitive area and I guess it is a short stretch that a track goes west of to avoid. I don't know as I 'm not qualified to say.

It is very boggy in areas and the ground is surprisingly uneven with steps ups and down and plenty of rock on the ground.

When you get close to Tamarind Ave you pick up a well used track that kids and others must frequently use.

Here the shots I took on my phone..

How to Label and Link a Post to a Page

South Precinct Heath biodiversity rising above past fires.

The idea of this post is to explain how the collection of posts and pages will be linked together by a labelling structure.

The analogy to think of is that of a tree.

The pages are the branches and we will stick leaves on (blog posts) using labels (sap?) to attach them to the right branch.

I expect we will have a lot of photos and videos created so it should look spectacular cataloging and capturing all the interesting bits and pieces of our unique trails.

For example the photo above is this posts feature image which I have captioned. I have added all the available labels excluding "admin" which is just for minutes and I guess training type posts like this one.

If I really wanted to label the post about the diversity of the heath accurately I would put a cross in the 3 boxes below. So it really should just be labelled "Southern Precinct", "POI", "Photos" and "Flora".

Label Structure	Lake Precinct,	Village Precinct,	Southern Precinct,	Western Precinct
POI,			X
Photos,			X
Maps,
History,
Flora,			X
Fauna,

To link the post to page I would create something called Anchor Text (say Heath Biodiversity) in three spots under each heading on the Southern Precinct page, then hyperlink the post to the page in the three  spots. See example below.

Don't worry I will need to

1. Show how to do it in person, 
2. Then do it together, 
3. Then I should watch you do it by yourself. 

After doing it three times this way together you will have the hang of it.

Anthony

PS This is only a draft structure I should add. We can change it to what ever you think best suits but I'm just taking the lead to create something to start with.
