Father & Son Treasure Hunt




With Daddy working long hours and having been to the UK twice lately, he has had very little one-on-one time with Josh. In addition, because of his eyesight, he and Josh have very little 'alone' time as Mummy is always the driver. So Mummy decided to put together a treasure hunt 'just for the boys'. Fortunately it was a beautiful day and Mummy dropped them off at the Railway Station. They were then given a list of instructions with 42 questions to answer. The 'hunt' took them all along the waterfront, through Queens Wharf, and onto Oriental Parade. In addition, they had to do all sorts of things ... play at the park, go down the slide 5 times, stop and eat an ice-cream, go into a cafe and have a lemonade, climb aboard a friend's boat, ride a crocodile bike. It took the boys over 2 hours to complete the 'hunt' and the final question took them to Vista cafe where they found Mummy sitting with hot chips and lemonade ready to mark their answers!


And the result - they got 41 questiosn right and, I have to admit, the one queston they got wrong was debatable (and debated it was!!). They qualified for the prize which was hidden behind the cafe counter ... Pirates of the Caribbean lego set for them to build together.
