| * Notes: Surveying on the Mulu 2009 expedition was slightly different to previous expeditions as this time, all survey data were translated and drawn up in the field using Therion resulting in an almost complete map before the expedition finished. | * Notes: Surveying on the Mulu 2009 expedition was slightly different to previous expeditions as this time, all survey data were translated and drawn up in the field using Therion resulting in an almost complete map before the expedition finished. |

| * Notes: The Riwaka System appears to cover a 9km x 7 km area. We thought we were nearing completion of the Greenlink system maps, 3d terrain model and photo/topo/geology/legal boundary composite overlay ready for addition of other caves in the system for which we only have paper maps, and plotting of entrances and surface features, and that is where the project is about to head if we ever stop finding new passage in Greenlink/Middle Earth. | * Notes: The Riuwaka System appears to cover a 9km x 7 km area. In 2010 we thought we were nearing completion of the Greenlink system maps. We have a 3d terrain model and photo/topo/geology/legal boundary composite overlay ready for addition of other caves in the system for which we only have paper maps, and plotting of entrances and surface features. Unfortunately (?) we keep finding new passage. |

| * Length: 31.5 km as at March 2014 and growing. Dropped back to fourth longest NZ cave survey, but only 2km more to get back to third place. | * Length: 39.5 km as at March 2022 and growing. Second longest NZ cave survey. |

| * Representations: An early version of the map won the NZSS Survey competition in 2008, as did the 2010 version. The esri outline shapefiles make quite a nice overlay for aerial photos. This cave deserves a multi chapter atlas and elevations from a couple of view points, and if we ever stop finding new passage we might get around to it. | * Representations: An early version of the map won the NZSS Survey competition in 2008, as did the 2010 version.
