The Herald brought terrible news! Who would seek to kill this important man?
Unlike most PuzzleTrails, this mystery is based on a REAL EVENT that took place at Clontarf Beach over 150 years ago! Can you use your detective skills to unravel the crime, a key person who was there and what they did on that eventful day?
Add the excitement of solving a mystery to your outdoor adventure with our self-guided puzzle-based mystery trail around gorgeous Clontarf Reserve.
- Recently reopened, with a brand new, revamped playground and fresh cafe.
- Learn about the evolution of Clontarf from its first visitors in the 1800's to the well-known spot it is today
- Discover the dastardly event that occurred in its past that had this little beach making the National Papers
- Starts at Clontarf Reserve Car Park, off Sandy Bay Road
- Northern Beaches residents get FREE parking with NBC Beach Permits (Be aware that Council charges for non NBC resident parking tend to be very steep so you may wish to seek out local street parking)
- Sandy kid's playground and netted harbour swimming pool
- Large grassy areas for free play, BBQs and picnics to make a day of it
- Cafe and facilities so you can cater however you want
- Dogs allowed but not on the beach or within 10m of the kids play ground
- Flat ground with plenty of paths, so suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, with the caveat that the beach / long grass may be less 'wheel' friendly
- As this trail was originally written for Schools and Vacation Care groups, the format is slightly different for other trails. Rather than taking a designated circular journey, instead locations are scattered around the park and a map is offered to help locate them.
- Remember “Slip, Slop, Slap” ...and have lots of fun!!
- Instantly downloadable booklet ready to be printed
- Contains everything needed to complete the trail and find all the clues
- Provides info on how to get there, including facilities found en-route
- Miss one? Simply retrace your steps or if really stuck follow the SMS instructions in your booklet to get some hints

"This was our 4th Puzzletrail and once again it was so much fun exploring with the kids!"

"A great way to spend an afternoon. We had a small group of 10-12 year olds. The puzzle was excellent and the clues were ideal - not too challenging but not to easy either. Lots of fun!"
Beth, S
"My son and I had a great day exploring Parramatta to find all the clues so we could solve the puzzle. The clues were just right - not too easy and not too hard. The puzzle took us to some great places that we would normally pass by. Who knew there so much history around. Can't wait to do another puzzle. Thanks Puzzle Trails."
