Waitomo
Short Film (Full Length) – 1950
31 Mar 2018 - 02.12pm
This is a special piece of history. A wonderful snapshot of the Waitomo Village, Hotel, Marokopa Falls and beach and of course the Glowworm Cave. I wonder why the narrator omitted to mention Tane Tinorau as the explorer who took Fred Mace into the cave.

Another great synopsis above. I wonder if the 'head of George Bernard Shaw' at 5:40 is still the drawcard it once was?
