The Geopark recently contracted a group of local artists to brighten up a roadside barrier in Chelmer St Oamaru. Behind the barrier is a Geosite called the Oamaru Limestone Dikes – volcanic tuff crosscut by limestone. The mural is an artistic impression of what the Oamaru area may have looked like when the rocks at this Geosite where formed - around 35 million years ago when the area was under the sea.
“We hope this mural will create interest about the geological history of the area – and what amazing creatures lived here” – WWG Geoeducator
We are currently planning an interpretation panel about the mural and the Geosite – to be installed opposite the mural, in the Oamaru Public Gardens.
This project has been made possible by the generous contributions from:
Colin Jones Trust
Creative Communities Fund
Oamaru Top 10
Awamoa Bins and Skips
Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony
Waitaki District Council
And, of course, a massive thank you to artists Wicksey, Philina Den Dulk, Luzette Crossan, Al Bell for their beautiful work!

That ancient underwater mural sounds absolutely fascinating! It’s amazing how art can survive beneath the waves for centuries, holding stories of lost civilizations and forgotten cultures. The idea of exploring such hidden pieces of history really makes you appreciate how much we still have to discover about our past.
Speaking of uncovering mysteries, I recently had to research something similar for a project and thought, “I wish someone could write my assignment for me.” Finding reliable information on historical artifacts can be such a challenge! Still, discoveries like these murals remind us how powerful history and art are in connecting humanity across time.
Nursing Assessments: A Roadmap to Academic and Professional Success
Introduction
Capella University’s nursing programs are designed to empower students with practical, research-driven, and leadership-oriented knowledge essential for today’s healthcare landscape. Each course and assessment serves as a building block toward mastering critical thinking, patient-centered care, and evidence-based practice. Capella’s FlexPath model offers students a self-paced, competency-based learning experience that blends academic rigor with flexibility — a perfect fit for working nurses pursuing advanced degrees.
For many learners, Capella nursing assessments represent milestones that test real-world application rather than rote memorization. They help future nurse leaders evaluate, synthesize, and apply theoretical frameworks to clinical challenges. In this blog, we’ll explore four vital assessments — NHS FPX 5004, NURS FPX 6620, NURS FPX 6426, and…
