The Mysterious Moeraki Boulders

If you are driving along North Otago coast, you definitely shouldn’t miss out on stopping by the Moeraki Boulders. The Moeraki Boulders are a group of mysterious huge round stones on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki. The boulders formed about 65 million years ago and weighs up to several tonnes each! These fascinating boulders have attracted tourists and photographers from all over the world and for a good reason! The atmosphere changes at different times of the day, at sunrise or sunset, at high tides and low tides, creating many spectacular and photogenic opportunities. I recommend going during sunrise/sunset as watching the soft sun rays light up the boulders in an orange glow was nothing short of amazing! #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #newzealand

A picturesque beach with mysterious boulders!

New Zealand has no short of beautiful beaches, but this one here is really special. Named the Moeraki Boulders Beach, lying along the beach are mysterious spherical stones scattered all around the area! Every Boulder is unique in their sizes, with some of them in full spherical shape while others behind half, as shown in the photos. There are many stories behind how these boulders landed up in this beach, and one of the more interesting one is that according to the Maori legend, these boulders are gourds washed ashore from a great voyaging canoe when it was wrecked upon landfall hundreds of years ago! It is recommended to come here during sunrise for the best view of the beach, but sunset are just as equally beautiful as well. There are also cafe and restaurant in the area so you can definitely drop by to relax before/after the beach visit. To get here is just a 30mins drive away from Oamaru, including a really scenic drive along the way! #momentssg #hiking #nationalpark #newzealand #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration

Where Magic Meets Earth

"Nature's marbles, Moeraki Boulders – a beyond-earthly wonder!"#MoerakiBoulders

The Moeraki Boulders were conjectured as a "gift" given to the Earth by aliens. They did not go to the scene and could not imagine that this was a gift from nature. On the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, more than 50 huge round stones are scattered on the beach. The largest diameter is more than 2 meters, the smallest is more than half a meter, the weight is several tons, and there are cracks in the corners. Still hollow. The scientist explained that the calcium and carbonate around the charged particles have crystallized over 4 million years, but the shape of this shape, after years of scouring by the waves and wind and rain can form such a round and lovely shape, I would rather believe in Maori. The legend of man: "A few hundred years ago, the canoe Arede Oulu was overturned when New Zealand was about to land. Many of the gourds on the ship were washed ashore and formed the boulders we saw today." Attractions, tourists and tourists wave after wave, but I would rather stay away from the crowd and see the warm side of the round stone.

The secluded South Island of New Zealand has a place on the east coast called Moraki. When the sea is ebb, it will see more than 50 huge round stones appearing out of the sea. It is better to say that they are giant stones. Eggs are more appropriate. The shape of its circle, the magic of the internal structure, so that everyone who sees these stones have to sigh from the bottom of my heart. When I came, I didn't completely ebb, so I didn't see much, so it's especially important to find time. Many people speculate that they thought it was the giant egg under the dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago. Now it has become fossils, and some speculations are the products of the outer planet. The local indigenous Maori in New Zealand said that the voyage of the boat, the Adelaide Oulu, rolled out on the shore more than a thousand years ago. Legend is the legend, according to the investigation, the formation of these stones, from 4 million years ago. After millions of years of weathering, some have been naturally cracked, some are empty, and some are very hard with a clear network of fossils.

From Christchurch, follow the SH1 road all the way south, south through the plains of Canterbury, and pass through the small towns of Timaru and Oamaru. It takes more than five hours to get to the nearest Antarctica. The big city is also the second largest city in the South Island after Christchurch. Before going to the big city, go to Moraki to see a world-famous stone ~ ride through Oamaru, in a place called Moeraki (Koraki) 78 km from Dunedin, Boulders (Big Boulder) has become a major feature and has become a famous spectacle in New Zealand. The shape of the gray rock is like a ball. The big and small are scattered on the beach, and some are more like the dinosaur eggs that are about to come out.

From Dunedin to Oamaru, the road will pass the famous Moeraki Boulders. Whenever the seawater ebbs, you can see dozens of huge stone balls on the beach. The round rolls are like artificially polished, irregularly arranged, some have been broken, and the clear and hard mesh structure is seen inside. Visitors also use their creativity to do their best to create a variety of POSE photos. The heartbreaking thing is that when we arrived, it was not only raining, but also the tide. . . There is no chance to fuck in the Boulders, and I can only go to Oamaru with regrets all the way. It is a small town on the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean that flourished in the late 19th century for gold mining, quarrying and wood processing. Not only the port, but also the railway, is enough to prove the prosperity of the time. Time has passed, and today's small towns appear to be sluggish and deserted, leaving only the quiet and Victorian limestone buildings. There are Raiders calling it a ghost town because it has abandoned too many houses more than a hundred years ago. But here also has the best preserved historic buildings in New Zealand and blue-eyed penguins and yellow-eyed penguins, which are also very attractive to us.

The world is full of unknowns, and there are many mysterious phenomena in nature. We have not cracked, such as the coast of Jaenz Cosway in Ireland, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the megalithic site of Avebury in England, Machu Picchu in Peru, and Egypt. The Pyramid, China's Guge Dynasty... One of the biggest goals of my life, I can go to the scene to see these "unsolved mysteries" in my lifetime.
