On this
picture you can observe the Moeraki Boulders one of the major
attractions of Moeraki. The boulders are septarian concretions
and that have been exposed to shoreline erosion coming from the
cliffs. Sepatarian comes from the “little walled”. Septarian
concretions are concretions that contain cavities with angular
forms. You may on the picture above how the boulders look; you
would that that it has been formed by men. The Moeraki Boulders
are seen on the Koekohe Beach not far from Moeraki village, a
small fishing village. All along the beach you will see these
enormous spherical boulders. It is a real must to visit this
spectacular place. For Maoris, Moeraki means “a place to sleep
by day”, or “sleepy sky”. Moeraki, a really dramatic coastal
scenery to be absolutely seen. |
