Everyone loves a challenge, and this is one will stretch your imagination and creativity!

So how does the Challenge work?

A set of Clues will be provided – and from there it’s up to you and your creativity! Do your best to interpret the clues, remember not everything is as a seems. We will also give you some Signature Items that must be included in particular shots, you’ll get extra points if you include these.

Are you up for the challenge?

Yes, we know you are! The Challenge is a great chance to get out and about in the beautiful Scenic Rim, and to pit yourself against the clues, and the clock!

In entering into this Agreement, I am not relying on any oral, written or visual representatives or statements by Whales Underwater and Foto Frenzy or its staff or any other inducement or coercion to go on the adventure trip, hence, only of my own free will.
