Moa Bone Caves in Aorere Valley
Abstract
1. Stafford's Cave, named by the miners because a former visitor, Mr. Stafford, broke his leg in it, is the most northern of the three caves. The entrance lies concealed in the undergrowth, but is otherwise wide and open. A steep conical shaft leads down for a depth of about 80 ft from the floor of the cave; at the bottom, rammed in between the two walls, lies a great block of limestone below which a rivulet streams forth, flowing through the cave, which runs from east; in the cave it is joined by a little tributary.(omitted)
