Charleston Cavern opening, 1991

About this image

DescriptionThe Charleston Cavern opened this month near Westport as a base for tourist caving expeditions in the Buller limetone country. The Cavern stands on the site of the old European Hotel in Charleston which was burned down in 1988. It is a tavern and restaurant as well as a headquarters for Norwest Adventures, of Westport, which has been guiding visitors through several cave systems in the region since 1985. Among the caving trips in the area is "underworld rafting" through the Metro Cave system in which cavers drift down an underground river through glowworm-lined caverns.Date of Photo1991Map^[1]ContributorThe Press
