Around 50 spherical boulders can be found at a beach a bit south from Oamaru. Some of them weight over seven tons. Their age is estimated to be around 60 million years.

Oamaru – Steampunk and Blue Penguins
We took the nice scenic route till Oamaru, a picturesque town known as the Steampunk Capital.
After dinner we watched little blue penguins returning from their hunt on sea. Unfortunately, filming was not allowed.
But on the way back to our campground, we saw even more of those cute little fellas coming back to their nests. One nest was even within our campground.
