Rawhiti Cave

According to the Dept of Conservation's website "Rawhiti Cave is nationally significant as it has possibly the most diverse and extensive entrance, and twilight-zone flora of any cave in New Zealand".

I'm not an algae expert but I was well impressed with the stalactites.

The walk up from the valley floor was a bit of a killer. It actually defeated me last time I visited. Going down I kept thinking, seriously for the first time, how useful a set of walking sticks would be.
