The quest

50 minutes in Oaklands Park (on Kings Road, south-east of centre, Victoria): leave the parking lot behind, pick a bench, listen.

Steps

  1. Enter Oaklands Park at a public gate.
  2. Walk until you have left the parking lot behind. Sit on one bench.
  3. Name two non-traffic sounds. Leave by the same gate.

Why this is on the board

Parks like Oaklands Park (on Kings Road, south-east of centre, Victoria) are how Victoria was laid out for people who do not have a cottage. One loop, one bench, two sounds — the city used as it was meant to be used.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
