Index to “September 2024 Stone Collecting Trip” Series: Part One, Posts 1 to 10

In September (and the first couple of days of October) I drove from my home in Whanganui down to Riverton, a journey of about 1150 kms. I crossed Cook Strait by ferry from Wellington to Picton on Monday 2 September, catching a return ferry on my way back north on Thursday 3 October. As usual, I documented the beaches I visited and the stones I collected for tumble polishing. 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. The first 10 Posts in the Series are listed below.
