24.01.2022 A brand new viewing experience at Echo Point is now open. After almost 12 months of construction, the spectacular new development at Echo Point has been complet...ed and is open to the community. The project has significantly enhanced the viewing experience at the site and includes: a gathering place (community amphitheatre) a new Prince of Wales Lookout providing a closer view of The Three Sisters, and a 140-metre accessible, elevated, night-lit boardwalk connecting the lookouts, amphitheatre and Visitor Information Centre. The concept for the 150m2 gathering place arose from consultation with the Dharug and Gundungurra Peoples, which began in 2016. It now provides a place for the community and visitors to sit and experience Echo Point and the Jamison Valley. It is also to be used for cultural presentations (including dance, talk, drama and song) and scientific presentations. Mayor Mark Greenhill said Council was thankful to have received matched funding from the Federal Government’s National Stronger Regions grant program for this major project. In consultation with Traditional Owners, we wanted this upgrade to enable a new, memorable and unique experience for all who visit this special place, he said. The gathering space is known as Dyindinggang to the Gundungurra people and Dyinbarri to the Dharug people, with respect to the Sisters (Seven Sisters) in the landscape and the sky with Ngurra (Country). One of most impressive features of the space it its stylised Map of Country which is etched into the concrete floor of the stage area. This represents the significant waterways within Dharug and Gundungurra Ngurra, in the Blue Mountains. Other stunning new features at the site include LED lights, which have been placed in the stage that mirrors four constellations of the night sky, including within the Seven Sisters (Pleiades). These are programed to display and assist in sharing cultural stories connected with the night sky (sky Country). For the Dharug and Gundungurra Peoples to share their knowledge of the cultural and spiritual significance of this site with the broader community, in this way, is such an incredible gift, Mayor Greenhill said. We believe millions of visitors to this site will be enriched by this new experience, for many years to come. An elevated and night-lit accessible boardwalk has also reopened the link to The Prince Henry Cliff Walk and allowed renewed access to the Prince of Wales Lookout that has been closed for 10 years. While the Three Sisters have been night-lit for many years, the upgrade provides safe access to a number of new vantage points. In addition, landscape lighting allows visitors to appreciate some of the surrounding vegetation to create a more holistic experience. Council has also improved visitor safety at this high profile and unique location, by introducing security measures thanks a Federal Government Safer Communities grant. As part of the recent upgrade, Council installed bollards and a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system. Evacuation signage was also installed. An official launch of the new gathering place, new Prince of Wales Lookout and new accessible boardwalk at Echo Point is expected to take place during NAIDOC week, which will be held November 8 15, 2020.

09.01.2022 Did you know iKOU products are made in the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains? . And the best bit? We're not only proudly Australian-made, we also use a broad... variety of Australian grown ingredients! Australia boasts some of the world's oldest flowering plants, and the ancient wisdom that comes from the traditional owners of our land are something we greatly honour and respect. . Many of our ingredients like Kakadu Plum, Desert Lime, Davidson Plum and White Flannel Flowers are wild-harvested. This is next level to organic because it means they're not grown by man on a farm, they grow wild, planted and cared for by nature. Some of our ingredients are harvested by indigenous communities. Their knowledge gives eco/ ethical practice to the harvesting, because they know how much they can take to ensure the plants will continue to regenerate and be sustainable for the future. . We protect our Australian extracts by replacing traditional laboratory methods that use heat with cold extraction processes. This preserves the active nature of these amazing ingredients, keeping them as pure as the land they grow own. . We believe using Australian ingredients is not only better for supporting local business and keeping our carbon footprint small, but it also benefits your skin. These resilient plants have the ability to protect themselves in our environment which pushes the extremes to the limit. The White Flannel Flowers for example can survive harsh sun, drought and snow, and they are the first flower to come back after a fire! . It's no wonder you see the results so quickly when you use iKOU Skincare. It's all because of our amazing Australian ingredients! See more
