I have published a new article in the Articles section for those interested in travel.

"New Zealand is often thought of as simply a land of high mountains and misty fiords, often forgotten is that it''s also an island nation. Being an island nation, New Zealand has many miles of coastline, and beaches. Perhaps, the most fascinating beach is on the South Island, home to a geologic treasure known as Moeraki Boulders.

According to an ancient Maori legend, the boulders are gourds washed from the great voyaging canoe Arai Te Uru when it was wrecked at nearby Shag Point (Matakaea) some 1000 years ago, while searching for the precious stone of Te Wai Pounamu"
