Sustainable tourism in Australia
Situated at an altitude of over 1000 metres in the northern Blue Mountains of New South Wales, the Mount Tomah Botanic Garden was established as the cool-climate garden of the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney.
It was opened to the public in 1987 and is already home to over 5000 species of plants from the cooler parts of the world. Many of these have been collected by staff of the Royal Botanic Gardens in the wild and have not previously been grown in Australia. Areas visited include South America, Southeast Asia, China, Africa, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the alpine regions of Australia, special emphasis being placed on plants of the southern hemisphere.
More than three million people come to Blue Mountains National Park each year. For many, it's enough just to find a lookout and gaze across the park's chiselled sandstone outcrops and hazy blue forests. Others walk or cycle along the cliff-tops and in the valleys, following paths that were created for Victorian-era honeymooners, or discovered by Aboriginal hunters many thousands of years ago. Over 140 km of walking tracks of all grades (some accessible for people with a disability) in diverse settings make the Blue Mountains a bushwalker's paradise.
This park, which is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, protects an unusually diverse range of vegetation communities. There are rare and ancient plants and isolated animal populations tucked away in its deep gorges. This is a vast and special place.
Australia is home to the largest population of wild camels in the world – the animals have become icons of the Australia desert. But they're not native, and their numbers are increasing at an alarming rate. People started releasing domestic camels into the wild in the 1920's when cars began to take over as a better form of transport.
The countdown to Evolution Day has started!
