Timaru’s city centre is full of hidden gems if you take the time to look. That is why we created the Look Up, Look Down CBD Heritage Hunt. It is a simple double-sided A4 self-guided treasure hunt that helps you slow down, look closely, and discover stories tucked into the footpaths and rooftops of our town. See if you can spot ships on manhole covers, tiny lions perched on buildings. These details tell the story of Timaru’s past, hidden in plain sight. This free activity is an easy free adventure for families, curious children, visitors or locals keen to explore the CBD. Pop into the Timaru Information Center, the South Canterbury Museum for a free copy, and print one yourself. If you don't have a printer, you can ask a librarian to print one off for you for a small fee. Bring a pen, wear comfortable shoes and keep your eyes peeled. Whether you are new to town or have lived here all your life, you are sure to spot something you have never noticed before. Download your clue sheet here: www.wuhootimaru.co.nz/cbd-heritage-hunt
