We get lots of visitors to the Gipps National Park every year. We need a walking track to limit any damage to the rainforest.
Can you make a track that will start at My Place and go all the way to the Rest House?
It will help if you know how to use compass points and a grid map.
Can you make a track that will start at My Place and go all the way to the Rest House?
It will help if you know how to use compass points and a grid map.
You can make the track by using the different pieces supplied.
First, read each clue carefully.
Then choose the piece that would be best for your track and move it onto the map.

Then choose the piece that would be best for your track and move it onto the map.
We'll start by making a track between My Place and the Camp Site.
My Place is at
grid reference C7 and the Camp Site is at grid reference E8, to the south-east (SE). Choose a piece of track that joins these two places.

Now that have you read the brochure, you know what to expect when you visit our rainforest.
Well done! Now you need to add the next piece of track.
Continue
That's not the right piece of track. Read the clue again and choose another piece.
Try again
The piece of track you need heads south-east (SE) and should join My Place to the Camp Site.
Try again
Let me show you the piece you need.
Try again
The piece you are looking for starts to head north-east (NE) and curves back to the south-east(SE).
Try again
The piece you need here starts going south-east (SE) and then north-east (NE).
Try again
The piece you have chosen is not the correct one. Find a short piece that heads north-east (NE) to grid reference 17.
Try again
The piece of track you need heads first to the north-west (NW) and then goes the other way to the north-east (NE).
Try again
You need to look for a long piece of track that heads north-east (NE).
Try again
The piece you selected isn't the right one. The piece of track you need starts towards the east (E), then curves around to head west (W).
Try again
Not quite! You need to find a piece that heads west (W) straight to the Rest House.
Try again
Great! That's a job well done.
