Grace (6) and Liz Xu (11) said “the cookie mining was one of our favourite activities”, although holding the diamond python and reptiles of the South Australian Herpetology Group came a close second!

We would like to thank the South Australian Musuem, Liebherr and our wonderful industry volunteers for making the event such a huge success.
Stay tuned to find out what we have coming up next.

SACOME delivered a brand new activity for primary school children and their parents during the April School Holidays. 230 parents and children took part in a treasure hunt around the CBD, helping children to discover how we use natural resources in our everyday lives. Each particpant received their very own treasure map and received a goodie bag on completion of the hunt.
This activity took place as part of Exploration Week, a festival celebrating Sir Douglas Mawson and his contributions to exploration. We are very grateful to all our partners, including RI Aus, South Australian Museum, State library of South Australia, Santos and SA Water.
We would also like to thank the kind sponsors of our prizes, Marathon Resources, Port Adelaide Football Club, BHP Billiton, Santos, Windmill Theatre, Haighs Chocolates and the RI Aus.
Keep in touch to find out more about what we are up to over the next few months.
