But there is also a mystery to solve as you play!
Before you begin, download the ‘Discover Goyder’ app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play and either print the Decoder Map or collect one from the Burra Visitors Centre. Then walk, cycle or drive to take on challenges at the locations you visit to learn more about Burra’s mining history and ultimately, to decode the clues you collect and solve the mystery of ‘Who was Johnny Green’?
