The Christmas Critter Chase
You’ve heard of Dasher and Dancer, but have you heard of Marvellous Molly and Zany Zack?
They are just two of our adorable Christmas Critters who are busy picking up the best Christmas gifts they can find in Wellington, Geurie and Dubbo.
Our Christmas critters have made themselves at home in our local shops, and we need your sharp eyes to track them down before Christmas so they too can spend time with their friends and family.
Each critter has a unique name, and we need you to help us find 10 of them.
Record 10 critters on your Christmas Critter Chase Worksheet, and then bring your completed sheet to the nearest Visitor Information Centre in Dubbo or Wellington to claim your well-deserved prize!
Take the whole family on an adventure of discovery as you explore and shop local this Christmas. Your gifts will mean so much more when you give back to our local stores. Happy Critter hunting!
Colouring Fun Alert: Colour in our Christmas Critters
Whether you're at your favourite local cafe or in the comfort of your home, grab your Christmas Critter coloring sheet and let your creativity shine!
Happy coloring!
