THE free Easter egg treasure hunt at Emerald Lake Park turned out to be an enormously well-received event on Sunday.
Amid the beautiful surrounds, and amazing autumn weather, the crowds didn’t let the organisers down, turning out in droves for the event.
Families from the area, the region and even abroad ventured to the park to undertake the treasure quest.
In order to receive their collection of delicious Easter eggs, participants were required to gather their forms from the Emerald Lake Park Cafe.
On the form was a series of six questions, which the treasure-hunters had to answer. These questions were specific to some of the iconic sites at the park, including the model railway and the environment centre.
Thus, many children and parents took an educational tour of the park, before enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and a healthy helping of Easter eggs.
