Canterbury Hill Cave, Collingwood

This is but a brief description of a cave which, although well known to local inhabitants, appears to be unknown to the N.Z.S.S. It is reputed to be one of several caves in this region, but we have so far been unable to continue our prospecting here as fully as is needed. The cave is in no way unique nor of an outstanding nature; being within an isolated remnant of a much younger limestone which appears to have once extensively overlain the old Paleozoic basement rocks of the Aorere valley region. It seems probable that it is in the same limestone as the well-known Te Anaroa tourist cave, at Rockville near Collingwood, and that of the Brown River caves south of Bainham.(omitted)
