Goodness gracious....Great balls of stone!!

These boulders are cracking !!

Jeni, Pee-sac and Beni clearly not that impressed with the stone baws

After Dunedin, (cheers again to Alison and Justin for letting us stay), we headed north to Moeraki to see the Moeraki Boulders. These are large rounded rocks were created many years ago and were trapped in the surrounding mudstone cliffs. Over the years the mudstone is eroded by the elements which deposits these spherical rocks onto the beach. Pretty weird

We enjoyed our visit, but it was spoiled by an extremely rude and grumpy guy who owned the restaurant at the entrance to the beach, who insits you pay $2 to go on a public beach ?!?........If you want to go, we suggest you go via the Dept. of Conservation entrance (which is free).


It's safe to say, we had words with him!!
