It's magic..


On our way up the coast from Dunedin, we stopped off at the rather peculier Moeraki boulders.
The boulders lie partially submerged in the sandy beach, but were originally part of the mudstone cliffs behind, created around a central core of carbonate of lime crystals that attracted minerals from their surroundings, a process that started 60 million years ago. Ok, I copied that right out of the guide book... between you and me, they are cool spherical rocks scattered over the beach. Apparently they also have magical powers.. which must be true, cos as you can see, I was able to levitate next to one of them.
