South of Oamaru, the coast was sparsely developed and dominated by tussock. |
As we walked along the sand, the rocks became gradually bigger and more spherical, dislodged from the horizontal beds on the cliff above. |
Some of the boulders reveal their core when rolled and cracked in the surf. |
I am only in the picture for scale. |
Some of these concretions have a web of calcite veins surrounding and bisecting them. |
Some of the giant cue balls in the area where most visitors can access the beach from a nearby car park. |
The boulders are best viewed two hours before and after low tide. |
As boulders get claimed by the sea, others emerge from the cliff. |
