Juergen Freund – Produce time lapse video of spectacular Tablelands scenes Category 4 Cultural Tourism - In a 3 to 5 minute video, a cross section of what
makes the Tablelands unique and spectacular will be captured through time-lapse that
will make one realize how totally amazing it is to see the Tablelands in this unique
manner. The short video will enthrall audiences with the many different natural aspects
of the region namely: Forests; Fig trees; Fungi; Storms brewing and lightning displays;
Crater Lakes; Outback, etc. This will promote the Tablelands as a special location
destination for tourists (local; inter-state & overseas) as well as for filmmaking (as per
Goal 7.3 of the Cultural Plan). The final outcomes aim to have local cinemas show this
short film during their previews before the movies start. There is positive response from
Bernie Rayner for the Majestic Theatre in Malanda and the Rising Sun Cinema in
Mareeba as well as the outdoor theatre in Chillagoe Observatory and Ecolodge. The
project will also produce a DVD that will be a saleable item available to the general

Colin Trigwell – Raptors and Landscapes of the Atherton Tablelands - Category 4
Cultural Tourism – Photographing on the Tablelands for many years Mr Trigwell has a
large catalogue of unpublished work that he believes would be of great interest to
ornithologists and visitors. The grant is to assist in getting this material into the
published form of an eighteen month calendar, allowing a longer shelf life for selling and
also displaying more photos that would also include Tableland landscapes. The
development of raw photos into print ready edited photos would be a major part of the
project as well working with a local graphic designer to design the calendar layout ready
for publishing by another local business. Sales and marketing would be provided by
Two Rivers Marketing, who have worked on projects for the Tablelands Regional
Gallery and TRC . They have an already established distribution network all the way
from Port Douglas to Townsville. A calendar launch and exhibition would be held at the
Council Foyer Gallery in June 2016 and would include framed prints of all the photos in
