Anyone else ever visit Burnside Cement Works in New Zealand

A long shot here, but any kiwis or people who have visited New Zealand ever make a trip to Burnside Cement Works near Dunedin?

 

Alas the quarry has been filled in now with demolition debris. I used to get on the bus in my early teens with my best friend and spend the whole day in this quarry mining into the Concord Greensand. I still have the memories of course but really wish I had some photos from the outcrops there. This was pre- digital days of course so I think the photos and negatives I had have been lost in my many moves over the years.

 

Im going to post some of my finds from there on here soon, I was originally going to post in the Extraordinary Teeth Thread, but thought maybe the site deserved its own thread covering the range of fossils that I have in my collection from this site. It is Late Oligocene.
