I found one up at Tawharanui Regional Park, must be about 30 years ago. It was down where the hillside met the beach, in a gap in some rocks. Pure fluke I saw it, just happened to be up tying a new trace at the cliff edge.
Told the guys I was fishing with about it, and they all came over and had a look.
We guessed it was bloody old, looked pretty weathered and half covered in sand. Looked like a couple of ribs showing through the sand as well. The gap they were in was only small, so it wasn’t big enough for an intact skeleton.
Anyway, we decided that it was a pretty cool place to rest, so we left them in peace.
Probably still there.
PS sorry for the hijack 😀
