Children will love exploring nature with the Gold Coast Nature Play Passport and they'll learn some pretty cool things along the way.
There are 12 exciting missions celebrating local plants and animals across the Gold Coast including Burleigh Head National Park and the Botanic Gardens.
The passport includes a list of places to visit as well as traditional Indigenous stories shared by Kombumerri man, Clinton Brewer. The passport is decorated by Bundjalung–Yugambeh artist Christine Slabb.
Free copies of Gold Coast Nature Play Passport are available at most libraries or contact us. For large orders, contact Nature Play Queensland.
