The Waitaki Whitestone Geopark presents:
Visit Gondwana
without leaving home
New Zealand’s geological origins go back more than 200 million years, to when it was part of the Gondwana supercontinent
The familiar greywacke rock of the Waitaki area was formed in Gondwana, and is being recycled into new geological deposits
Learn about the rich geological history preserved in the Waitaki area, in a journey from Gondwana to today
