I was glancing through a PDF doc on the heritage of New Zealand which is quite brilliant when I came across this photo. I quite liked it.
• The extensive cave systems under Mt Owen and Mt Arthur contain some of the
longest (Bulmer, 55 km), deepest (Nettlebed, almost 900 m) and oldest (700,000
years) caves in New Zealand. They are considered some of the most outstanding in the Southern Hemisphere.
• The Honeycomb Hill cave system in the Oparara Basin, which contains internationally important sub-fossil bird remains dating back 20,000 years (including an extinct giant eagle).
Bulmer Cave, Kahurangi

The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.
