N. Ethno-botanical Park Indigenous Flora/’Bush-tucker’/Traditional Owner (Bindal and Wulgurukaba) Cultural History Trail Trail integrated with natural land forms – low impact Encourage retention and incorporation of native flora and fauna Enhance existing remnant vegetation and establish areas of new indigenous vegetation Several access points to trail from Jezzine Way, Coastal Path/boardwalk At pinnacle of path (and land form) establish major way finding and interpretative points using static and active display and interpretation methods

Orientation Geographic Content Historical Content (Military/Social/Cultural) Traditional Owner Content
