The case

The Coolum Art Trail: Nan's Postcard Dare

Nan June has holidayed in Coolum every summer for fifty years and sent herself a postcard every time. This year her knees say no to the boardwalk, so she has dared you to walk the art trail up to the top of Point Perry for her. At every artwork she has a question only the real thing can answer, and every answer fills in a clue on her crossword.

Made for families and for grandparents with grandkids: no clock, free hints, shells to collect for Nan's jar, and this year's postcard to make at the end.
