ACTIVITIES
Open a map, shut your eyes and let your finger land somewhere on the map.
Now open your eyes and find out about the place where your finger has landed.
Look the place up on google maps or google earth. What does it look like in real life? Are there rivers, hills or sea nearby?
ABOUT X
Although Traveller families often need to travel to certain places for work, many families talk about the joy of travelling being at the heart of their culture and being able to travel where they want.
X marks the spot captures the freedom to choose where and when to travel, camp and live.
