Bulmer Cavern

Bulmer Cavern

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. [ [http://www.teara.govt.nz/TheBush/BushAndMountainRecreation/Caving/3/en Caving in New Zealand] (from Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand)] 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.
