At the beach end of the wood is a stand of young totara trees (pronounced toe-trah). This is a site which from 1000 to 1700 AD was used by Maori moa-hunters as a place to seek food from sea, bush and river. It is archaeologically very important, and they have found the site of an oven buried deep in the shell-filled loam.
From here, we had hoped to go on to the Cathedral Caves, but we had missed the tide, so they were closed.
