A Townsville author has launched a second golden dachshund treasure hunt, hiding a metal dog figurine somewhere in the city and offering a $1000 prize for the finder.
New Adventure Awaits
Local author and treasure hunt creator, who wished to remain anonymous, has hidden a small golden dachshund statue in a public location within Townsville. The hunt began on Saturday, with clues posted on social media to guide participants. The first person to locate the figurine and bring it to a designated drop-off point will win the cash prize.
Building on Success
This is the second such event organized by the author, following a successful inaugural hunt last year that attracted hundreds of participants. The previous hunt saw the golden dachshund found after several days of searching, generating excitement across the community. The author hopes to repeat that enthusiasm and encourage residents to explore their city in a fun and engaging way.
“The response last year was incredible, and we wanted to bring it back for those who missed out or want another chance,” the author said. “It’s a great way to get people outdoors and discover hidden gems in Townsville.”
How to Participate
Interested treasure hunters can follow the official social media accounts for clues. The hints will be posted periodically until the statue is found. Participants are encouraged to share their progress and photos online using a dedicated hashtag. The hunt is open to all ages, and no purchase is necessary. The author reminds everyone to respect public spaces and follow local guidelines while searching.
Community Engagement
The treasure hunt has already sparked interest among local businesses and community groups, with some offering additional prizes or hosting related events. The initiative aims to bring people together and promote local tourism. The author plans to make the golden dachshund hunt an annual tradition if this year’s event proves as popular as the last.
