The journey began at RMIT. Hannah and Martine were willing to take part of our Ur-ban Treasure Hunt. We gave them a map of the CBD with riddles/clues and images were used to help them find each destination and to find the final location where X marks the spot.
First Clue: Known as a world class cultural and entertainment destina-tion, home to SBS and ACMI =Federation Square.I presented them with a card which stated the location and had some letters circled which the had to place in the missing spots.
Second Clue: Home of the master pieces, off St Kilda Rd = National Gallery of VictoriaThe second card was presented and more spaces where filled.
Third Clue: Victoria’s memorial to the men and women who served in the two World Wars = The Shrine of Rememberance
