<div style="text-indent: 1em;">
The Great Heritage Highway Walk is not a race but a rally of sorts; the first prize will be awarded to the person who obtains the most points; points are awarded not only for walking along the the official route but also for visiting nominated places, uploading pictures thereof, and even solving puzzles.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fees:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The entrance fee for individual contestants is $100. (The fee for a school team—eligible only for team prizes—is $250 a team of three or more students). Fees will help pay for the various support services but does not include the provision of accommodation (except for camping at Epping Forest and Kempton); some providers of accommodation along the route, however, will provide substantial discounts for participants in the Great Heritage Highway Walk.<br />
<div style="text-indent: 1em;">
All participants in the Great Heritage Highway need to book their own accommodation for stays in Ross, Oatlands and Brighton (and, for those who don’t reside in Tasmania, Hobart).
