Wuhoo created scavenger hunts to celebrate Sea Week in Timaru in 2022.

Holiday season is here, and quite possibly, those of you not venturing far over the break will have some family visiting and, if you are lucky, maybe some young ones in the mix.
Short of ideas on things to do? Remember to look up the Wuhoo Timaru website.
It’s chock full of great ideas for local outings and adventures for families to do together.
Lots of hard work and investigation has gone into creating this amazing resource for Timaru locals and visitors to enjoy, all them pretty much free.
The brainchild of creative local couple, Christopher and Roselyn Fauth, the website has been a long-term project.
They have a young family of their own and wanted to discover what was to be done in the way of free family fun in South Canterbury and to pass this information onto other families here.
This site offers a range of possibilities including all sorts of hunts, playground locations, activities, places to picnic, all sorts of trails to follow, walks to do and local history discoveries to be made.
Roselyn is an accomplished artist in her own right, she paints under the name Roselyn Cloake, and the website gives some of her gorgeous pictures to download for young artists to colour in and put their stamp on.
Great for a rainy day and not just for the children. Along with the picture you will find a sheet of information about Timaru history and the stories behind the pictures.
Roselyn and Christopher were part of the team involved in the development and fundraising for our new, well-received and multi-award-winning Caroline Bay Playground, CPlay.
Another wonderful project and achievement for our town that they were instrumental in bringing to completion, it’s been a thrill to see it so well used and enjoyed by family groups, both local and visiting.
Once again, if you’re looking for something different to do then get on the website, wuhootimaru and you will be amazed at what you find. It’s a winner.
Happy holidays to you all.
