Australian Odyssey – a game

A journey around Australia’s wild places starting in my home state.

As you solve each page you will need to save the code and numbers from the password to solve the last page for caches which are hidden around Australia.  So solving Clue 1 leads to Clue 2 which leads to Clue 3 etc…

CLUE 1

Lake Pedder – A Tasmanian Icon for all the wrong reasons now. The “New” Lake Pedder still looks magnificent especially from a distance where you can’t see the bleached skirt of drowned trees. Photos

Password to Clue 2 is a word and two digit number wordX # where:

word = (lowercase!) What colour was the beach here before it was drowned?

X = Count the letters in that word

# = How many animals were made extinct by that event?

HINT: use the links in this post! Enjoy the Odyssey.

CLUE 2 CLUE 3 CLUE 4 BONUS PRIZE

  3. Hi Carolyn, I’d suggest several changes. Firstly, split the first paragraph into 2. The first line should be on it’s own I think. In the second sentence you have “…will be hopefully be hidden…”, one of the ‘be’s is surplus. “New” in the second paragraph should probably be in quotes. Otherwise it is all good. Can you put a picture of the lake on this page?
