Wayfinding track signage has been ongoing with the visitor experience team at NSW State Forests since 2013. Dedicated to improving the visitor experience, we have developed wayfinding maps, totems and blades for walking tracks within several NSW Forests.

Forestry NSW wayfinding style guide
At the beginning of 2017 TIDC developed interpretation guidelines for NSW State Forests which included designs and concepts for wayfinding. Blades, totems, arrows (with leaves) and map design were presented. We recommended naming walking tracks (where possible) in the Aboriginal language of the area to provide an additional distinctive touch.
The Garraan.gurr walking track at Sealy Lookout in Orara East State Forest is an example of this, garraan.gurr being the Gumbaynggirr name for grass tree.
Wayfinding track signage for several forests are profiled in the accompanying images.
