Robyn Kelly it was returned I think.

Robyn Kelly
Lorraine O'Donoghue no it was not. The local iwi donated a replacement. Due to safety concerns has not been relayed.

Lorraine O'Donoghue
Robyn Kelly thank you. I must be mixed up with the replacement as I remembered the stone being stolen and had forgotten that a replacement was donated but that there had been mention of a stone there. My mind is slipping in its old age.

Tony Froome
Robyn Kelly so did it turn back up?

Mary Moffitt
Robyn Kelly Somebody will know. They always know on the Coast, and usually get the right information where it needs to be. Love the Coast.

Stu McConchie
Beautiful stone. Unfortunate story. Very disrespectful to those that gave their lives.
