Correct…that is it, up from the creek bed up the hill…thats the story I was told from an old dog. Wasn’t planning on going there given the Maori history and remains
it wasn’t a BLACK DOG by any chance???
More a shade of tan old dog

Yep thats the spot also known as arataonga cave
I would imagine that being so close to the Smoothwater bay walking track from Jackson’s that it’s been checked out. Relative easy walk to get there even after the last slip wiped out the start of the walk carpark end.
Yeah its a peice of cake wandering there. Have seen some big animals in that bush too
Really…
chasing round up Denniston looking for different stuff. or rocks . wasn’t long after this I rolled the quad on top of me. theres that "BLACK DOG " again.

Yep noted the heater and love it. Its got the same clout as my Earsplitingloudenboomer (Led Zeppelin) which I some times carry for pigs. Original 1863 Sharps in artillery shell caliber.
The Sharps is the best utility tool you could wish for - starts fires, singes ducks, makes post holes, lights the way in the darkness, fells trees, moves rocks and you can even blast pigs to Purgatory with it.

Well bugger my days…a squadron of errant seagulls has flown over during their winter migration and pooped on the hills.
Ha ha there goes that black dog at it again…sniffing out the rubbish
Here’s an internal view from within said cave, certainty an eerie feeling there. On the way in there is a curious square pit cut about 1.5 meters each side and by memory a foot or so deep by the creek. Also where you follow the submerged creek to the entrance there’s a few places where the cave system collapsed leaving sink holes, watch for them!

Looks like he is recovering from some sort of abuse…
