Starting Clue

I once held catch from stream or sea,

Now I guard what guides shall be.

By flickering tales and modern light,

I bide my time, tucked out of sight.

Not on shelf, nor drawer, nor floor –

Look where wood and whisper store.

Answer: fisherman’s basket hanging on wooden wall.

Clue 1:

It all begins with an idea.

In a patch of green where townsfolk roam,
Stands a tribute carved in local stone.
A miner once rested here, boots full of clay,
After finding a fortune that led the way.
He sparked a rush with a single claim,
And carved his name in Zeehan’s fame.
He struck the first of silver's shine,
A glint that marked the mining line.

 

When you find this place, ask yourself:
Before the miners cleared the land,
What ancient giant used to stand?

Location: Frank Long Memorial

Answer: Rain Forest

Clue 2:

It all begins with an idea.

Whispers linger where shadows play,
Echoes of actors from a bygone day.
Stone curves rise in silent grace,
A thousand eyes once watched this place.

What secret shape frames every view,
Above the stage and balcony too?

Location: The Gaiety Theatre

Answer: Arches

Clue 3:

It all begins with an idea.

Before the screens and silent pings,

We sent our words on paper wings.

Where stories travelled near and far,

Sealed with a mark from where you are.

A grand old face of brick and grace,

It stood through time in pride of place

Where letter flew from far and near,

And telegrams brought joy or fear

 

What was the message sent with speed,

In times of joy, or urgent need?

If still unsure, look for the word above the door—

Take the fourth letter, nothing more.

Location: Post Office, 110 Main Street Zeehan

Answer: Telegram
