Search in the innermost recesses of the intellect To seek new knowledge as yet unexplored As the past is purchased by the present And the future is the goal of tomorrow! Cover Image: According to Ngāi Tahu (Kai Tahu), Te Kaihīnaki (Moeraki Boulders) situated on Koekohe Beach just north of Moeraki Peninsula, are the round food-baskets and water-carrying gourds of the Ārai-te-uru waka that were lost overboard and washed up the beach after the waka capsized in heavy seas further down the coastline at Matakaea (Shag Point). The reef which extends from this point is the waka’s petrifi ed hull and close by a standing rock is considered to be the body of its commander. Ārai-te-uru brought kūmara from Hawaiki to Aotearoa and after visiting Te Ika-a-Māui (the North Island), it journeyed down the east coast of Te Waipounamu (the South Island). After the waka capsized, the baskets and gourds were lost overboard, forming the Moeraki boulders. According to geologists, the Moeraki Boulders are ‘concretions’, formed during the early Tertiary period some 65-55 million years ago. The strong mineral cements formed concentrically layer upon layer under tens to hundreds of metres of marine mud and sand beneath the ocean. Over time geological activity raised the seabed, and subsequently erosion by weather and wave action revealed the harder boulders which became exposed and stranded on the beach – Koekohe.
