If you have a passion for answering quizzes, then you shouldn’t miss the chance to visit Buderim Pioneer Cottage and two other Sunshine Coast museums, Landsborough Museum and Nambour Museum, where you can learn more about the region’s amazing heritage at the same time.
All entrants will receive a free pocket magnifier to solve problems and discover the Sunshine Coast’s amazing heritage. If you wish to join the Mystery Madness Month, you can visit Buderim Pioneer Cottage and become a Museum VIP with a discount card.
Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the initiative was a fabulously fun way to promote Sunshine Coast museums.
Cr Baberowski said these places have remarkable collections and each time you visit, you see and experience something different.
“It could be as nostalgic as a toy steam train, romantic as an Edison Phonograph or as muscular as a cane train. No matter what it is, each display tells us something more about how our regional communities lived and progressed,” Cr Baberowski added.
“The museums make for an exceptional low-cost day out during the school holidays and the quiz offers families a way to explore our incredible heritage in a fun, meaningful and even more rewarding way,” he said.
The competition commences 1 September and closes on 3 October 2021 and is open for all ages. To learn more, visit Sunshine Coast Council’s website.
