Help! Some of our favourite story book characters have gone missing within our suburbs and we need your help finding them!

Grab your map, put your walking shoes on and get set to explore.

‘Spot the Character’ Scavenger Hunts have been set up around a selection of Council’s community centres in celebration of Children’s Week 2021. Explore these centres to help locate our missing friends:

Round up all the missing characters in your local area and go into the draw to win one of three $50 Coles vouchers*.

Spot the Character Scavenger Hunts will be running from Tuesday 26 October until Sunday 31 October. Complete the hunt in your own time at a centre located near you. This is a family friendly activity and is open to children of all ages.

29th October – Weather!!!

It has certainly been windy!

With the extreme weather we are experiencing some of our story book friends may have gone missing. While every attempt will be made to replace the missing characters we can’t guarantee they will stay in place over the weekend if weather conditions continue in the same way.

If during your hunt you are unable to locate a character please write ‘missing’ on your hunt sheet. You are still able to enter the draw for the $50 Coles voucher.

Happy hunting 🙂
