“Lismore City Council is excited to offer this interactive and educational activity to our community, providing a wonderful opportunity to explore Lismore, learn about wildlife, and celebrate the Easter season together,” Mayor Krieg remarked.

“By completing the Bilby Discovery Easter Activity sheet, adventurers can have fun while also having the chance to win fantastic prizes from our local shops and library branches. It’s as simple as finding all 10 adorable Bilbies and returning the completed sheet by Wednesday, April 3rd, to claim your prize.”

To kickstart the adventure, participants can collect the Bilby Discovery Easter Activity booklet from any of the local library locations, including the Lismore Children’s Library at Lismore Central Shopping Centre, the Lismore Pop-Up Library at 146 Molesworth Street, and the Goonellabah Library at 27 Oliver Avenue.

Lismore City Council CBD Activation Officer Kathryn Gray emphasised the collaborative effort behind the project, highlighting the positive involvement of local businesses and the Lismore Library.

“Lismore businesses have warmly embraced the Easter Bilbies, participating across our local business centres. It’s been a joy to collaborate with Lismore Library, which provided research on facts and created the activity sheets,” Gray noted.

“It’s a delightful experience to discover the Bilbies hidden among the treasures and treats offered in different stores while enjoying quality time engaging in kid’s activities, shopping, and dining here in Lismore.”

Once all 10 Bilbies have been found, adventurers can return completed sheets to any of the three Library locations or at a participating business drop-off outlet to claim their prizes.
