A Collapsed Cave

            The huge mossy limestone boulders that fill this section of Bullock Creek, in the Paparoa National Park, near Punaikaki, suggest that a large cave probably once ran through here, and that the roof collapsed into the stream bed long ago. Even now, the stream runs through a cave far below these boulders, to emerge in the valley lower down.
