Where’s Waitaki Whitestone Geopark?
The karst landscape and its ‘whitestone’ are integral to the identity of the Waitaki region. The first people to the area found shelter in limestone caves, leaving now-treasured rock art. Waitaki's largest town, Ōamaru, is renowned for fine limestone architecture. This is why our geopark is proudly named the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark.
The New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO has shortlisted the ‘Waitaki Whitestone Geopark’ as its preferred candidate for UNESCO Global Geopark status in New Zealand.
