What is SA Rocks?
SA Rocks is like a giant game of hide and seek with painted rocks! It encourages creativity, outdoor fun and a little bit of community magic. Kids and adults alike can join in by painting and hiding rocks, or searching for hidden ones.
How to Join the Fun:
1. Find clean, unpolished rocks (river stones work best!).
2. Use acrylic paints or permanent markers to decorate them.
3. Add “SA ROCKS” to the back of the rock and include your postcode so people can see how far your rock travels!
4. If you can, seal the rock with a clear coat to protect it from the weather.
Once you’ve made your rock, you can hide it at the tree or around town.
Found a rock?
Take a photo and post it to the SA Rocks Facebook page. Then you can:
* Re-hide it somewhere new and update the Facebook group with the new location.
* Or keep it, but be sure to paint and hide your own to keep the fun going.
