Trails and Tales of Trade: Across Land and Sea transforms the PICA Hub into a hands-on landscape of making, play and shared discovery. Designed for all ages, this immersive experience invites visitors to touch, sort, gather and play their way through different environments—from saltwater shores to tall timber forests, desert plains and stone country. 

Move through distinct zones where materials, textures and simple creative tasks respond to place. Collect and arrange resources in a coastal environment, press bark into clay to reveal hidden patterns, shift sand to uncover traces beneath the surface, or sort stones by weight, shape and feel. Each activity is tactile, intuitive and open-ended, encouraging curiosity through the hand as much as the mind. 

At the centre of Trails and Tales of Trade: Across Land and Sea is a shared meeting space that brings people together. Here, scenario cards, tokens and chance elements spark conversation and collaborative problem-solving. Visitors are prompted to pause, negotiate, make choices and consider consequences—discovering that trade is not just about exchange, but about relationships, timing, care and responsibility. 

Playful, thoughtful and deeply sensory, Trails and Tales of Trade invites visitors to slow down, connect and learn through doing — discovering how knowledge, environment and community are always intertwined.
