Nambour: The Nambour Art Trail

The Nambour Art Trail

Spend a day as a muralist's apprentice. Learn the trade at every artwork in town, then design a wall of your own.

“Morning! I'm Ro. I paint walls for a living, and Nambour has handed me a big blank one. Spend the day as my apprentice: we'll walk the town's best walls and steal a trick from every one. Grab your phone, and meet me at the library corner.”

The case

The Nambour Art Trail

Ro paints walls for a living, and she has a blank one she cannot crack. Spend the day as her apprentice: walk Nambour's public art trail, look closely at each work, meet the artist who made it, and learn the word for what they did.

Every answer is on the real work, and nothing on your phone shows the art, so you have to be there. No timer and no penalties. At the end you design a mural of your own to save and share.
