Bulmer Cavern

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bulmer Cavern is New Zealand's longest cave system, running for over 50 km through Mount Owen in the Tasman region of the northwest South Island.[1] The cave was the location of a major cave rescue effort in 1998, when it took 80 cavers several days to extract another caver who had fallen and broken his jaw deep in the cavern.[2]
