Auckland Lava caves

After remaining buried for 30 years, the rediscovery of this cave was a lot of fun.

The cave itself is set in a school grounds where previously it had been used for dumping rubbish!

There are now plans to get in and clean out the rubbish and put a manhole on top for future access.
