Pop up shop part 2 AND MAPS!

<p>Geopark - Sasha Says – Pop up shop and maps</p> <p><strong>Geoeducator: </strong>We're in the pop up shop, which is and Thames St in Oamaru. So we're going to be opening in March time as a kind of information centre for people to drop by, learn about what the Geopark is, and some of the things on offer. So we're currently just renovating, getting our displays ready, painting - we're going to have this very impressive mural of a plesiosaur the entire length of the building, which I imagine that lots of kids who are into prehistoric creatures will love to come and have a look at it. So that's where we are for this morning. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I won't to let too much away. But we are going to be having a video display of something we've been working on. We're going to have lots of information on Zealandia - how it was formed. We'll have brochures to give away to people to help them organise their day, what they want to see (or their week), where they want to travel to and explore. And we're working alongside Oamaru Rocks as well. They're going to have a presence here as well as the North Otago Rock and Mineral Club - they're also going to have a presence here as well. So we'll be able to let a few more details away the closer that we get to the time. But it's going to be an exciting space and we're going to have activities for people to come in and do as well as take away. So we're just excited about engaging with the community. And if people out their have got a community group who they think would like to get involved with the Geopark - if you can just contact me at my email geoeducator@whitestonegeopark.nz, then we can see if we can sort something out. So it's all about community engagement and getting people excited about this wonderful place that we live in.&nbsp;</p> <p>So at the moment we've been working on maps for the Geopark. I like maps - who doesn't like a map. So we've been collating quite a few different maps on the area. Now, I don't know, there'll be people out there that are kind of old school an
