Fantastic set of pictures! Thanks both to the photographer and to the one who posted them  :)

I had to google about the Moeraki boulders; the one cracked, showing the interior looks ready to be filled with mix and planted.

Plenty people would like to do just that Gabriela but alas they are strictly protected by law from damage or removal. Well, not alas. They are unique after all and we treasure them.
