The study was undertaken to identify items of the natural and cultural heritage with conservation significance because of their scenic or scientific value. It complements much of the work of The National Trust of Australia (NSW) and the listings in the Register maintained by the Australian Heritage Commission. The latter listings are directed towards identifying components of the national Estate. The focus of this study is mainly on the non-urban and open space environments in the Central Western Region with particular empasis on the features of the biophysical/natural heritage which contribute to scenic amenity and/or scientific value in those environments.; ; VIS_ID 860
