Ahoy, young explorers! Set sail on a maritime adventure trail with smooth sailing ahead.
Get ready to journey along the western coast of New Holland with our fun-filled museum adventure trail.
As the brave captain of a fearless crew, you'll navigate uncharted waters in your tall ship, just like the intrepid explorers of the 19th century. Your mission? To create maps, record your discoveries, and uncover exotic new locations!
Grab your captain's journal trail booklet and document your adventures. Along the way, sketch the newfound wonders you encounter—will you discover a sea monster or a species unknown to science in the 19th century?
Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, hidden black swans, and clues left behind by the adventurers who came before you, and don't forget to outsmart those pesky rats trying to nibble away at your precious food supplies!
This interactive trail is packed with adventure, discovery, and fun—perfect for curious kids ready to chart their own course in a world of maritime wonders!
