If you wish you may park near the saleyards as this is the closest parking area to the first waypoint. Rotary Park however, is where most of the waypoints are located. Have a good look around because there are more little gems in the Park area than are listed for this multi.
For this one bring your bicycles, or bring your walking shoes, but most importantly bring your hunting qualities and your eyes............
In October 2019, I was doing a maintenance ride around Myrtleford and noticed some cute little mosaics hiding along one of the walking trails.
I discovered later that two local ladies calling themselves The Crackpots had started to put these little treasures out under cover of darkness for people to discover. At the time they felt a little like vandals.
Regulars along the walking path began stopping each other to point out the mosaics, so The Crackpots made a couple more, and before long the mosaic mystery was drawing children and adults alike out from their houses and onto the trail.
The town was on the hunt for the mosaics, and the culprits. Presently there are 60 or so mosaics and apparently there are plans to expand further, away from the trails and into the town.
This multi only covers a small distance, in a fairly confined area. You will however, enjoy a bounce across the swinging bridge and a walk across the beautiful old railway bridge across Barwidgee Creek.
I hope the children (and you) enjoy discovering some of the many mosaics to be found around the town.

I am adding a Treasure Hunt Chart here so you can print it out if you wish - Mosaic Treasure Hunt Chart. Children might enjoy finding them and ticking them off as they go.
