Activity
Create a factfile on a tourist destination

Task
Choose an urban tourist destination and create a "Factfile" story for Escape (Sunday Star Times) using a format similar to the examples provided (supporting resources)

 * Attractions/activities at the destination


 * Amenities available at the destination


 * Accessibility to the destination

Choose an angle (topic or way in which you tell the story). It could be something less commonly known about the destination, something that happened there, to make the article more interesting to all readers (especially those that have been there) - refer to the articles in Supporting Resources.
