It has an interesting read about it when I looked briefly at it on Google, I should read up myself. Those boulders are interesting to see on the beach.

Moeraki Boulders, Waitaki

Scientists explain the boulders as calcite concretions formed about 65 million years ago. According to Maori legend, the boulders are gourds washed ashore from the great voyaging canoe Araiteuru when it was wrecked upon landfall in New Zealand hundreds of years ago.

Myth, Legends always interesting New Zealand is an interesting place.
