Balclutha is the latest town to be taken over by an online craze where participants paint and hide small rocks in random places for others to find.
Rebekah Fraser, formerly of Hokitika, was part of an online group which specialised in painting small pebbles or "rocks" and hiding them around town for children and families to find and share.
Since she moved to Balclutha a month ago, she has started her own online Facebook page called "Clutha Rocks".
On the page, people are encouraged to paint small rocks and hide them in random locations in the Clutha district for others to find. Mrs Fraser said the response from the community had been "incredible".
"It’s been really cool coming down to the park and hearing everyone talk about it."
Members of the page can share images of their latest artworks, post about rocks they discovered and give clues as to where some may be found.
The main idea was to get families doing something fun and enjoying the outdoors.
Rocks have been hidden in Balclutha, Kaka Point, Stirling, Owaka and Pounawea.
"It’s about bringing the community together."
She had noticed a lot of graffiti and rubbish in the area and wanted to encourage the community to respect the environment they were in.
"It would be good if people could cherish and respect these spaces."
The rocks movement appears to be a nationwide craze, with support groups and online pages in almost every town across the country.
It is believed the first group to have started in New Zealand was in Palmerston North.
"Palmy Rocks" page administrator Heather Knox said she got the idea from "Kitsap Rocks" in the US state of Washington.
"We’re the ones that inspired all the recent groups to start up."
"Palmy Rocks" had grown to more than 6000 members since August last year and the "Clutha Rocks" page had more than 200 members since starting in late January.
There are about 40 known New Zealand Facebook rock pages including Dunedin ("Cavy Rocks") and Invercargill ("Invers Rocks").
Mrs Fraser had some advice for anyone who wanted to join in on the fun.
"Don’t hide rocks where someone could risk their lives."
And of course, make sure the artwork was "New Zealand weather-proof".
