About Our Port Macquarie Scavenger Hunt

Itʼs hard to believe that such a vibrant coastal city was once considered an ideal place to imprison convicts (and even political enemies). Where convicts once toiled in the timber industry, enduring floggings and miserable conditions, now stands a bustling seaside town with plenty to do and explore. On the Port Macquarie scavenger hunt, youʼll see the townʼs historical sites and beautiful hidden gems as you work as a team to solve clues and answer riddles.

What better way to explore such a unique town than in an equally unique fashion! Join us along the Port Macquarie scavenger hunt and watch the cityʼs story unfold.

What You'll See: Port Macquarie Museum, Maritime Museum, and Mrs York's Garden
