Geo Radio - Waitaki Whitestone Geopark

Recently we had the pleasure of meeting with the Banks Peninsula Geopark.  We took a tour of some of our local geosites, showing them some of our updated interpretation signs.  We aim to tell the story of our land and people through the geopark.  Listen here to learn more about what our day involved and the development of the geopark here in the Waitaki.
