    Garnet Hunting
    Warrick took us to The Sound just after Attaturk memorial to look for garnet rocks. We had to do some scrambling over rocks to get to the place where garnets are found.
    He showed us gneiss and dolarite dykes before showing us garnet in granite rocks.
    Before we found garnets, Warrick showed us sea salt crystals and also the carcass of the leaf dragon. After we found garnets, we continued clambering over the rocks to find shells and find crabs in the rich pools.
