The colony is devasted..... A convict is dead!   Was this a case of 'murder in the dark'?!!

Add the excitement of solving a crime to your outdoor exploring adventure. Do you only have a brief opportunity to see some of Sydney's most famous locations? Then this 'hybrid' trail (mix of other PuzzleTrails) may be just perfect for you.  Blending together sections of 3 existing fun-filled PuzzleTrails; Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney's Historic Rocks and Circular Quay and the Opera House (i.e. this trail shares some of the same clues as these other trails), this adventure is perfect for the explorer that doesn't have time to tackle those 3 trails separately, but still wants a chance to glimpse those iconic spots, in a single journey of discovery into Sydney’s historic roots!  Journey from the North Shore at Milson’s Point Train Station, then over the Harbour Bridge, past the older ‘Rocks’ area, around the waterfront ‘Writers Walk’ and on to the famous Sydney Opera House. Don’t forget to take a camera to capture the stunning views and glimpses of history whilst you unravel clues to help solve your "Whodunnit" mystery!
  • This mostly tarmacked 2-2.5hr walk does include a series of steps to take you up to the bridge level and down to the Quay level.  
  • Not suitable for wheelchairs due to the absence of lifts on the bridge 
  • Possible for the hardy stroller pusher if you have help for the all the stairs
  • Meander around the foreshore known as Sydney Cove, location of the first European settlement of Australia, which by 1800 was the hub of Sydney’s life and gained the new name ‘Semi-Circular Quay’
  • Feel how ‘Circular Quay’ (as it is less correctly now known!) is still a hive of activity, with a public transport hub and every form of tourist exchange, information, shopping and eating available
  • Enjoy one of the cafés along the Quay and some exceptional views
  • Dogs can be taken on leads, but be aware, it can be very crowded at peak tourist times.
  • Note: Sundays being the busiest day due to the market and other attractions which can distract from, or obscure visibility of, some of the clues.
  • Discover a mix of old and new Sydney, learn interesting facts about Sydney’s original settlement and of course find clues to help solve your murder mystery!
  • The trail starts from Milson’s Point train station, on the North Shore line, one stop up from Wynyard.
  • Alternatively, you can enjoy a ferry trip across to Milson’s Point/Luna Park, photograph Sydney's most famous icons across a sparkling harbour, then climb the 'stimulating' hill to the station
  • The trail will finish at Circular Quay, with option for a return by bus or train. Bus/train/ferry (see TransportNSW)
  • Remember “Slip, Slop, Slap” ...and have lots of fun!!

Parramatta: Mystery in the Park

"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

Parramatta: Mystery in the Park

"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."
