that will increase tourism interest and visitation in Chillagoe. The infrastructure for the project is already in place and the railway line between Chillagoe and Calcifer is in fair condition and wouldn't need to much work to make it suitable for this project. Along with the cave tours it will encourage visitors to stay in Chillagoe longer and promote overnight stays. The road when sealed will also make it more attractive to 2 WD and caravan visitors. This web site is only a draught to give people an idea of what is proposed. Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this page. Together we can make Chillagoe a place that has a viable business future that will benefit the town. Hans Van Veluwen

Geotourism
Proposed national geotourism strategy and mining heritage Angus M. Robinson Leisure Solutions®, 10 William Street, Turramurra NSW 2074, Australia Geotourism, a holistic form of nature-based tourism, is a significant emerging and growing global phenomenon. Geotourism focuses on an area's geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment'. Geotourism is increasingly seen as a valuable tool for regional development. Geotourism focuses on an area's geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment'. It has links with adventure tourism, cultural tourism and ecotourism, but is not synonymous with any of these forms of tourism, although in broad terms it embraces them all. In summary, geotourism: • adds considerable content value to traditional nature-based tourism (the primary motivator of travel to Australia) as well as cultural tourism, inclusive of indigenous tourism, thus completing the holistic embrace of ‘A’ (abiotic –landscape and geology) plus ‘B’ (biotic) plus ‘C’ (culture) aspects. It empathises an approach of increasing interest to protected area managers.
