Moeraki Boulders are located in Otago and the South Island and they are a group of big almost perfect spherical stones on the strech Koekohe Beach, they are about 60 million years old and were formed from ancient see floor sediments.

This Maori legend Tells that those stones were the food baskets of Te Kaihimaki´s canoe, Araiteuru, one of the ancestral boats that brought Maori people from Hawaiki to New Zealand the boat was sunken during a voyage to carry green stone to the island and the kumara on board, which is a sweet potatoe became on strong boulders the baskets became on soft edges and finally the sunken ship became on a reef. For Maori people The Moeraki Boulders are holy stones. In 1938 one of these Boulders was taking to the Otago museum to be showed but 25 years later it started to break dawn while other boulders in the beach were intact.
