Moeraki Boulders

Litttle Port of Moeraki home to the famous boulders


Angel of the North, why do we keep sticking our arms out. I'm starting to get paranoid about it :)




arhhhhhh




I got hold of a big hammer and gave this one a smack to see if it had anything inside :) Joking. The stones are actually concretians, and formed over millenia as the mineral content at the core attracted other elements forming the round shape, gradually the sea has eroded the land which was quite soft leaving the stones that are very hard, easy.









Amazing and found nowhere else
