A Moeraki Boulder is removed from Koekohe Beach. One of the largest was taken from its coastal home of several million years and placed outside Otago Museum in Dunedin. “One of the finest of the famous ‘Moeraki boulders’ was removed from its resting place and brought to town to be placed in the grounds of the museum, where it will no doubt attract considerable attention, and will certainly form one of the most interesting of the many valuable historic exhibits at that institution,” an
Evening Star article from May 5, 1938, said. Motorists heading north on Dunedin s one-way system can still get a fleeting glimpse of the boulder, which weighs about seven tonnes.
