Gillian Aldridge, OAM Mayor of Salisbury

Things have been a little different this year (well, maybe a lot different!) and we have found new ways of exploring and discovering what our great city has to offer.

As we come into the warmer months, it is the perfect time for us to finally step away from the screens, pop on a hat and some sunscreen and head outdoors with the family.

To make things interesting, we have prepared a Discover Salisbury Challenge featuring activities and fun to be found, nature to be explored and culture to be consumed.

This edition of Discovery Salisbury is dedicated to the Challenge, which is compiled of ten different mini challenges spread out across the City.

Take on one or as many challenges as you wish and submit the correct answers in your chosen challenge to go into the draw to win a prize worth up to $100 per challenge.

If you complete all 10 challenges, you will have the chance to win our mega challenge cash prize of $1000!

Meanwhile, we would love for you to let us know about your up coming events. If you have an event you would like included either in the next edition of Discover Salisbury or in the online event calendar, please head to: discoversalisbury.com.au/yourevent
