The Trails Network

• This is a wonderful opportunity to nationally unify the fragmented trails in each Australian State.
• It is not intended to displace or interfere with the sovereignty that any trail organisation has currently.
• A unified trails network optimizes opportunity & defines nationally & internationally a huge tourist facility.

This is about unity for a common good …. & everyone benefits.

• Governments, State & Federal.
• Rural Tourism.
• Trail clubs & organisations.
• The equestrian industry as a whole.
• The Australian community in general.
• Trail users of the World.

What is a Trails Network ?

• Each Rural Shire along the Horse Highway will be invited to design their own Trails network, blending in existing trails.
• It will give local & overseas trekkers access to rural villages & many places of scenic interest.
• Trails will loop back to the Horse Highway so trekkers can move to the next Shire network.
• The national network will produce about 14,000 kilometers of scenic trails – the greatest, most diversified network of Trails in the World.

Where do we start ?

• We start at both ends simultaneously – Broome in Western Australia ….
  and Cairns in Queensland.
• This will add interest to the development of the project – locally & internationally.
• It will also halve construction time, as we head for an exciting, “grand closure” in the middle ….. somewhere !

How do we do it ?

• A Horse Highway & Trails, State Government Steering Committees will define the parameters for the trails network design.
• The project Director & project Coordinator will tour each of the Shires, State by State.
• Public meetings will be held & local trail design teams selected on ability & local knowledge.
• On completing a State Trails network design, proposed Trails will be checked and “the Plan” presented to State Government for approval.
• It is only on Approval that we start building.
• Each State will be completed before starting the next State or Stage of the project.

Why build the Trails State by State?

• As we build each State network we will be advertising to overseas trail users … the World’s largest horse trails network.
• When each State network is completed so too will be the infrastructure to manage the use of the Trails.
• Each State will be operational …… before we start the next State or Stage of the National Trails Network.

What does it mean to tourists ?

• a chance to see our unique country life.
• meet the legendary hospitality of our rural folk.
