Water scavenger hunt
If you are looking for a fun activity for students or families, try our water scavenger hunt.
You can either download the scavenger hunt map and print a copy at home, pick one up from reception at our head office at 55-67 Ryrie Street Geelong (during office hours), or work through the clues which are also on this web page.
During the scavenger hunt you’ll be out and about in Geelong’s cultural precinct, discovering things you may not have noticed before, and learning a bit about Geelong’s water story along the way.
We estimate it will take around an hour to answer most or all of the questions.
Have you completed the scavenger hunt? You can check your answers below!
