Kids gear up for Great Sunbury Gnome Hunt

Darcy is getting ready to go on a gnome hunt (Joe Mastroianni).

Get ready for a gnome adventure – the mythical creatures will be hiding at 25 businesses around Sunbury in the next two weeks as part of the Great Sunbury Gnome Hunt.

Gnome hunters can pick up passports from participating businesses and schools.

The passports will be stamped each time a gnome is discovered.

Goonawarra Primary School Parents and Friends member Heidi Saffery said the hunt helped to raise money for Goonawarra, Kismet Park, Killara, Sunbury, Sunbury West and Sunbury Heights primary schools.

“The children enjoy having lots of fun looking for gnomes hidden in businesses around Sunbury which offer great discounts and prizes,” she said.

“The businesses love it, the kids love it and it’s lots of fun for everyone.”

Passports can also be purchased at the Sunbury Information Centre.

The hunt will run from June 30 until July 15.
