Moeraki Boulders and more

En route to Dunedin we stopped at the remarkable Moeraki Boulders. These spherical boulders are scattered along the beach, and are formed by some sort of earth magic I don't understand :) 

Moeraki Boulders
This one is broken
Lone boulders
They are big!
And fun to stand on!
Scott only has his super zoom lense, haha.
There were lots of families around and others like this taking group shots.
One of Scott's close-up-lense pictures. Pretty!
We also heard about a possible yellow-eyed penguin viewing spot nearby. Alas there were again no penguins (yellow, blue, or otherwise), but we did see lots of other cool wildlife and scenery.

Most of the coast looks like this, beautiful
Any penguins down there? No :(
Cool rock wall
Looking back from where we came
Sheep!
Seal!
Baby Seal!
Cormorant! ("Shag", locally, heh). Spotted Shag to be specific.
Nice little harbour in Moeraki
