Index to “Southern Sojourn 2023” Series: Part One, Posts 1 to 12

In mid-January 2023, I gained access to an accommodation base in Riverton Aparima in Southland for a few weeks, possibly a few months. So my tumble polishers in Whanganui became silent and, after a period of six months without fossicking, my focus changed. I crossed Cook Strait by ferry on Tuesday 17 January 2023 to begin this Southern Sojourn. I ended it when I got a ferry back north on Friday 5 May. In this Index, you can click on a link to be taken to the relevant Post. The photos above each link give you an idea of some of the stones that feature in that Post.
